ABSTRACT
It is essentially important, prior to introducing any academic or professional program in Islamic economics and finance at both tertiary as well as professional levels, to use standard methodology in designing an acceptable program with an impact orientation. This chapter, however, undertakes designing academic programs in Islamic economics and finance, as well as developing the knowledge and skills of faculty members, in terms of formulating the content and outcomes of courses, in order to support the effectiveness of the programs and courses and achieve the desired quality in line with the requirements of academic accreditation. The chapter is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the institutional development of Islamic economics and finance programs, and the second part deals with the methodology for designing the scientific content of the programs’ courses and the most important factors for their success.
