Reviews
"This review is strictly for lack of communication. I contacted the college 4 times (2 phone voicemails and 2 emails) over the past 6 months, asking for information regarding enrollment and till this day, no response and no communication. It doesn't feel good writing this review but maybe holding them accountable will help them do better with communication."
"A beacon of hope for humanity. An olive tree that does not belong to east nor west, yet its oil enlightens the hearts and minds of people that demands it."
"Superb college with a great Islamic liberal arts program. I am one of the 12000 members and have received wonderful First Command Book Club courses. I hope someday I can visit this place, insyaAllah."
"I am an avid follower of Zaytuna and wanted to visit the college. I was greeted very warmly and ushered in by a great staff member who offered a school tour and numerous book suggestions in the bookstore. He spent over 2 hours with me was very patient answered all questions; the students were very nice and welcoming. Overall excellent experience. I hope to go again , I hope the school continues to grow."
"The first accredited Muslim liberal arts college in America, and perhaps one of the best colleges in the country. The college has a phenomenal faculty and a solid curriculum. Reviving both the classical liberal arts, and the rich Islamic tradition - good things are bound to come out of this college."
