Graduated from Islamic Educational Psychology Doctoral Program by Researching Non-Muslim Students at an Islamic Campus

Islamic campuses need to make a holistic or comprehensive policy in building the spiritual welfare of non-Muslim students on Islamic campuses. This holistic policy starts from building an authentic tolerance paradigm for the Islamic Campus Academic Community. When a holistic policy is implemented, it is expected to build the welfare values of non-Muslim students on Islamic campuses.

Islamic campuses that accept non-Muslim students have dynamic challenges. Of course, there are many positive values obtained when accepting non-Muslim students. For example, campuses that are in demand by non-Muslim students are campuses that have superior quality.

This is an excerpt from the conclusion of the dissertation presentation in the Doctoral Promotion Session on behalf of Iwan Setiawan. In the agenda held on Friday, July 19, 2024, Iwan Setiawan defended his dissertation entitled The Experience of Fulfilling the Spiritual Welfare of Non-Muslim Students at an Islamic Campus in Yogyakarta.
