In 2009, Zaytuna College was founded in Berkeley, California, with a mission that called for grounding students in the Islamic scholarly tradition as well as in the cultural currents and critical ideas shaping modern society.
As a Muslim liberal arts college in the West, Zaytuna offers a curriculum that provides its students with a foundation in the intellectual heritage of two major world civilizations: the Islamic and the Western.
Our mission is to educate students to become morally, intellectually, and spiritually accomplished individuals ready to contribute to our contemporary world in ways that are proportionate to their gifts and to the needs of human society.
Zaytuna’s campus is on Holy Hill and students enter the College as part of a cohort, a community of learners that travel together through the curriculum.
Zaytuna College is funded almost entirely through private donations. Your investment today will help root Islamic scholarship in the soil of America by allowing us to plan for future generations of scholars. Consider becoming a monthly supporter by joining our 12000 Strong monthly giving program, an opportunity that promises greater stability for the College, and also includes benefits like first-look access to the work that you support.
