The Islamic University of Nahdlatul Ulama (UNISNU) of Jepara is an integral part of the national education system, so it will inevitably be present in the new paradigm, concept, vision, and orientation of research and technology and higher education. Nonetheless, UNISNU has a religious identity of Ahle sunnah wal-jama'ah to produce students and graduates with a competitive advantage, having reliable and resilient competitiveness in this challenging global age. Scholar ( educated / muta'allim: educated) is a characteristic of thinking oriented to educated circumstances, even the appearance of educated human beings. To accompany the characteristics of thinking or attitude intellectualism (scholarship), UNISNU prepare beings learned to akhlaqul-Karima (budipekerti noble), which can move the character's sides temperament, habits, and religious teachings. The development of UNISNU should be seen in the context of the changes that occur so quickly, both from the conceptual side and the higher education paradigm. The development of UNISNU should also consider national and global social, economic, and political shifts and transitions. As a university initiated by the community, especially Nahdlatul Ulama, UNISNU bersilaturrahim and invite the public to raise the campus to provide the best in the people's intellectual life. UNISNU can see and place a new paradigm of higher education in Indonesia, which is based on three dimensions in formulating concepts from the regional, national, and global levels. The first is greater autonomy in management or autonomy. The broadest autonomy is autonomy in managerial terms and in determining or choosing curriculum, in the adjustment of UNISNU to the world of work or market needs. The hope is that UNISNU is useful in addition to improving the quality of human resources that master science and technology, the social sciences and humanities, and even specifically master the religious sciences ('ulum al-din ) as the legacy of "the science of religion" (' ilm al- shari'ah ), but also must develop the whole field through research and development (research and development). Talk of college autonomy needs to be criticized by the distinction between procedural autonomy and substantive autonomy on the one hand and academic freedom on the other. Substantive autonomy is the authority of UNISNU to determine goals and programs following the development and needs of the community. Moderate procedural autonomy is UNISNU institutional authority to determine ways ( means ) to achieve these goals. Academic freedom is the freedom of lecturers or scientists personally in teaching and research, to achieve truth protected by law. The development of this autonomization should be linked to responsibility and accountability. Second, greater accountability in the responsible utilization of financial resources and scientific development, educational content, and programs are organized. Accountability is addressed to governments, communities, and other stakeholders. Accountability is, therefore, also related to the professional world and society at large. The third is the greater quality assurance through continuous and continuous internal evaluation and external evaluation (external evaluation) conducted by the National Accreditation Board of Higher Education (BAN-PT). Preparing for "evaluation," UNISNU should broaden the horizons of the science base of Shariah, Tarbiyah, and Da'wah ( revealed knowledge )to the development of science, technology, art, and culture (acquired knowledge). The science is administered in eighteen courses: Ahwal Al-Syakhsiyah (Family Law), Syari'ah Banking, Islamic Religious Education, English Education, Early Childhood Education, Primary School Teacher Education, Communication and Islamic Broadcasting, Management (Economics), Accounting, Islamic Economics, Product Design, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Informatics Engineering, Visual Communication Design, Information Systems, Civil Engineering, Aquaculture, and Management of Islamic Education (S2).
