Preparing Muslim Leaders in an Increasingly
Pluralistic World

Founded in 2011 by the Islamic Center of Southern California, Bayan Claremont is the newest member of the Claremont Lincoln University Consortium, located in Claremont, California. As a uniquely American and non-sectarian institution, Bayan Claremont will educate men and women as Islamic religious leaders, scholars and educators in this new multireligious and multiethnic graduate school.

Bayan Claremont represents an important next step in Islamic education in the American context. Bayan Claremont will educate leaders who are qualified and well-positioned to effectively present Islam to American Muslims and the broader American society. These indigenous imams, chaplains, educators, activists and scholars will help serve the needs of the Islamic community in the religiously and culturally pluralistic realities of American society.
