This study analyzes curriculum management that supports the principles of Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) as an effort to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at Universitas Islam Bunga Bangsa Cirebon (UIBBC). The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using document analysis of national higher education policies, publicly available institutional documents of UIBBC, information on the PAI Study Program and Faculty of Tarbiyah, and relevant scholarly publications. Data were analyzed through reduction, thematic categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The analysis indicates that curriculum management in the UIBBC context should be understood as a cycle consisting of planning, organizing, learning implementation, assessment, monitoring and evaluation, and continuous follow-up. Institutionally, the existence of curriculum updating guidelines and monitoring and evaluation instruments provides an important foundation for quality assurance. In PAI learning, curriculum flexibility needs to be translated into measurable learning outcomes, student-centered learning, authentic learning experiences, technology integration, formative assessment, and connections between academic competencies and Islamic values. The analysis further indicates that quality improvement cannot be achieved merely through curriculum document revision; it depends on consistent implementation, lecturer competence, student engagement, an effective evaluation system, and continuous improvement. This study therefore offers an analytical framework for strengthening quality-oriented curriculum management in PAI at UIBBC.
