My Lord! Increase me in knowledge. (20:114)

Welcome to the Mufid Seminary MDiv in Islamic Studies application! This program is designed for students who have successfully completed the Foundations Program and seek to deepen their knowledge while preparing for meaningful service to the Muslim community. The MDiv provides advanced training in Islamic studies and equips students to work under the mentorship of scholars in various fields, including education, chaplaincy, community leadership, and more.

This application helps us learn more about you—your academic background, aspirations, and commitment to Islamic learning. Before you begin, please ensure you have the following materials ready:
- Unofficial transcripts from all colleges or universities attended, including proof of a completed bachelor’s degree (or expected completion before matriculation).
- A Resume outlining your academic background, work experience, and community involvement.
- A Statement of Purpose describing your journey in Islamic studies, your goals for the MDiv program, and how you hope to serve the Muslim community.
- Two Letters of Recommendation from individuals who can attest to your academic readiness, character, and ability to engage in structured learning.
- A Character Reference Letter from a religious scholar or mentor who can speak to your commitment to Islamic principles and your sincerity in pursuing advanced studies.
Please note that a nonrefundable application fee of $100 is required at the end of the application. Be sure to complete all sections carefully, as incomplete applications cannot be processed.
