Nondiscrimination

Boston Islamic Seminary embraces equal opportunity and affirmative action as core values. The Seminary operates a school which admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school, and the Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of race in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. We believe that cultivating an environment that embraces and promotes diversity is fundamental to the success of our students, our employees and our community.

We aim to train leaders who are grounded in the Islamic tradition and prepared to navigate both the challenges and the opportunities of today –
