Petition to Reinstate Muslim World Studies Degree/Certificate
Do not be fooled Muslim World Studies (MWS) is not a religious degree program of study. The MWS program is an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to survey Islamic civilization and culture; through study incorporating the social sciences including but not limited to history, humanities, economics and policy. Classes in this program of study have not been on the WCCCD Academic Schedule since *2011-12,* (Fall 2014 one section offered MWS 101)though they are listed in past and current catalogues to be offered during the Fall, Summer and Spring terms. Subsequently this program and courses have fallen into obscurity. This program is a one of a kind undergraduate program in the country offered established at WCCCD in 1978. WCCCD has granted Associate degrees in the past in Muslim World Studies which provide a pathway careers in education, foreign service and business
