New: GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN IMAM EDUCATION

Hartford Seminary, in cooperation with the International Institute of Islamic Thought and its Fairfax Institute in Herndon, VA, has begun a Graduate Certificate in Imam Education.*

This will be a 24-credit (6 courses plus six credits of field experience) certificate program that will prepare Muslim religious leaders for service in mosques and community agencies throughout the Greater Washington, D.C. area.

The courses will be offered on site at The Fairfax Institute in Herndon, except for at least one residency requirement in Hartford during the summer session.

As an introduction to this program, Hartford Seminary will offer a pilot course in March 2010 (March 29-April 2) at The Fairfax Institute.

This course will be a one-week intensive, taught by Professor Mahmoud Ayoub, on Major Themes in the Bible and the Qur'an. Prof. Ayoub is Faculty Associate in Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary and Professor Emeritus of Temple University. He is a member of the Council of Scholars for the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT).
