Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University Yogyakarta (Indonesian: Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, abbreviated as UIN Sunan Kalijaga or simply UIN Suka) is an Indonesian state university that offers study programs in the field of Islamic science. Currently the university offers programs in Adab, Da'wah, Sharia, Tarbiya, Ushuluddin, Science and technology, Social Science and Humanities, Islamic Business and Economy. The desire to establish Islamic institutions of higher education have been present since the colonial era. Dr. Wirjosandjojo Satiman stressed the importance of establishing an Islamic institute of higher education in order to raise the self-esteem of Muslims in the Dutch East Indies. Such an institution was established on July 8, 1945, when the Islamic High School was built in Jakarta. During the revolution the Islamic High School was moved to Yogyakarta, and reopened on April 10, 1946. In November 1947 a committee was formed to discuss improvements to the High School, and an agreement to establish the Indonesian Islamic University was reached on March 10, 1948. The university had four faculties: religion, law, economics, and education. More information...
