Since then, there has been dynamics and development of Islamic higher education in Indonesia, starting with the birth of STI and then STI changing to UII. UII's religious faculty was nationalized into PTAIN, then IAIN and STAIN emerged, apart from that, private Islamic higher education also emerged in the form of universities, institutes and high schools.
