The Universitas Muhammadiyah Sukabumi (UMMI) and the Islamic Online University (IOU) are pleased that a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed on May 4, 2011. They both have agreed to embark on a strategic alliance to provide curricular programs designed to promote core competence and excellence in authentic Islamic education and other disciplines from the Islamic perspective. The IOU has recently launched the world’s first tuition-free, online Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies (BAIS) program. This convention-breaking initiative utilizes the worldwide presence of the Internet and advanced open source online learning technology to bring low-cost, university level Islamic education within reach of anyone who has access to the Internet. Additionally, IOU has embarked on a consortium with UMMI, an accredited university of higher learning, recognized by the Indonesian government for higher Islamic Studies degree programs designed for professional growth, well-balanced personality, and ultimate success. By virtue of the MOA, UMMI will award BAIS degrees, the accredited online Bachelor degree in Islamic studies, to successful students who meet all the requirements mandated by Indonesian laws. UMMI will obtain the essential documentation of degree authentication from the Indonesian Higher Educational Authorities. IOU will be responsible for online teaching of all students covered under the MOA.
