To be an Islamic scholar, you have to study many areas including History, Theology, Shari'a (law), Sira (sorry I don't know what the equivelant english word for this is, but its pretty much the study of the Koran and the context in which it was revealed), Arabic, among other things. It usually takes them about an intense 4-8 years to accomplish this.
What I was curious about was that was it possible for Jordan to offer a B.A. or an M.A. in Islamic studies or religious studies, which they could do alot with, especially the social services aspect. Or do they simply require them to get a degree in a non-religious field?
