At American Islamic College, we believe our work in developing, advancing, and acquiring knowledge, cultivating intellectual and social-emotional skills, and uplifting ethical values and morals, flourishes through collaboration. Education can reach for its full potential when it is shared across institutions, across disciplines, and across our community. Our partnerships reflect our commitment to creating opportunities for students while strengthening ties with the broader community. We are proud to celebrate these agreements, which elevate learning at American Islamic College.

Through carefully crafted articulation agreements and transfer pathways with madrasas (traditional Islamic seminaries), high schools, graduate schools, universities, colleges, and professional programs, learners can pursue educational opportunities that advance student learning. Smooth transfers, advanced standing, and joint programs are but a few ways students can expand their horizons while saving time and resources. Accessible education is a human right, and through these exemplary partnerships, students receive enriched learning experiences and greater academic flexibility, resulting in greater promise.
