About Ifá University
Ifá University is the world’s first institution of higher learning dedicated exclusively to the academic study and practical mastery of Yorùbá spiritual traditions.
Ifá University exists to preserve, transmit, and advance the sacred knowledge systems of the Yorùbá people. We provide rigorous academic programs that produce scholars and practitioners capable of serving their communities with excellence, ethical integrity, and deep spiritual understanding.
Unlike conventional religious studies programs that treat African spiritual traditions as anthropological subjects, Ifá University teaches from within the tradition. Our faculty are practicing Babaláwo, Ìyánífá, and Òrìṣà priests who bring decades of spiritual and scholarly expertise to the classroom.
Our curriculum integrates sacred texts, ritual practice, ethical philosophy, and community service. Students don’t just study Ifá — they live it.
All programs are delivered entirely online through our Olodumare Learning Management System, powered by Office 365 Education. Students from anywhere in the world can access lectures, participate in live sessions, submit assignments, and engage with faculty and peers — all from their own sacred space.
