Institutionally there are three major types of MA: (1) MA plus, (2) MA Salaf – Tafaqquh fiddin, (3) MA enriched with religious teachings. Based on the problems identified and the types of MA put into consideration, three models are offered as the results of social action study, i.e. (1) institutional model – streaming model, (2) integrated science model, and (3) integrated management model.
