We seek security, peace and harmony, and to prove this we do attempt to participate in studies on Religions and Civilizations in today world through fundamental and scientific studies and researches without any prejudice or dogmatism. We hold neutral attitudes toward other religions, respect them, and try to know them well enough. This indicates our attitude and behavior in our policies and trends. Now the university, along with some other international centers, covers these goals. We have begun this path toward which many students have showed tendency.
Initiating our mission in 1995 under the name of "The Center for Studies of Religions", we followed some internal educational programs. In a four-year period, these programs covered English, Sanskrit and Hebrew languages, and the students followed academic studies along with their seminary studies.
In religions and Denominations subject we trained tens of experts who now hold M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. We also established the first specialized library of Religions with thousands of specialized books in various languages. The specialized quarterly of religions, named Haft Aseman, has been another activity of ours. We also started the M.A. courses in religions during the few past years and these took a decade of fruitful activities. |
