Our History
The establishment of the Islamic University College-Ghana
started with the acquisition of land for it in 1995. The Ahlul
Bait Foundation of the Islamic Republic of Iran conceived the
idea of a University College as far back as 1986 by opening
an Islamic Training Institute in a rented apartment at
Abelenkpe, Accra. The first batch of 15 students was
admitted into the Institute to do a two-year course in Islamic
Theology with the main objective being to enrich the Ghanaian
Muslim Youth with high spiritual and moral standards.
In 1988, the Institute was registered as the Ahlul Bait Islamic
School. This was in pursuance of the desire to provide
facilities for research into Islamic sciences for Muslim
students and scholars from Ghana and the neighbouring
countries.
The Islamic University College, Ghana was granted interim
accreditation by the National Accreditation Board with effect
from 2001. On 10th April 2001, 15 students were given
admission to do a 4-year Bachelor of Arts programme in
Religious Studies (Islamic option). In September the same
year, a second batch of 42 students was admitted into the
University College.
In September 2002, accreditation was given for the University
College to introduce a 4-year degree programme in Business
Administration with specialisation in Accounting, Banking and
Finance, and Marketing. Two hundred students applied for
admission and after thorough scrutiny 67 were given
admission into the Department of Business Administration and
39 into the Department of Religious Studies.
