Campus Life
A Community of Learning
At Zaytuna College, our students find an abundance of opportunities for personal, intellectual, and spiritual growth. Students enter the College as part of a cohort, a community of learners that travel together through the curriculum, and they are encouraged to study together, teach each other, and reinforce what they’ve learned by reviewing with their peers.
A Center of Faith and Scholarship
Zaytuna’s campus is on Holy Hill, a multi-faith neighborhood that is home to the largest consortium of religious colleges in the nation. The Upper Campus, the home of the undergraduate program, sits on the very top of the hill on a serene ten-acre property; the Lower Campus, is two blocks from the University of California–Berkeley and within walking distance of downtown Berkeley. As a student at Zaytuna College, you also become part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a thriving, bustling center of culture, technology, and academia with a population of seven million people, including a Muslim population of about 250,000, more than fifty mosques, and dozens of Islamic organizations.
Experiential Learning
Zaytuna College aims to foster a holistic environment of learning where inquiry, transmission, and debate take place as a way of life inside and outside the classroom.
Residential Life
Living on campus provides students with the opportunity to continue academic discussions outside of the classroom, and build relationships that will endure beyond graduation.
Honor Code
Honor Code, a statement of six core principles related to personal conduct that clarifies and furthers the principles that regulate behavior both on and off campus.
Information for Parents
Our faculty and administration are committed to be their devoted guides as they nurture what God has already imbued within them—a seed that only requires the right environment to flourish.

What Our Students Say
I can’t thank your college enough for bringing some of the beautiful teachings of Islam to our society here in UK. Keep up the good work and please don’t forget to share as much as possible on YouTube or other avenues.

Truly what Zaytuna is teaching is absolutely critical. We need Zaytuna, we need strong, intellectual, balanced muslims that unite the inner and outer sciences and work to perfect their character. May Allah provide for Zaytuna!
Mehran, Canada
I wholeheartedly believe in Zaytuna and in the future of its Muslim intellectuals. May Allah bless Zaytuna with His light and make its students the leaders of tomorrow that we so desperately need.
