This research originates from the vision and mission of the Islamic Education (PAI) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Magelang, which aims to produce future educators in Islamic studies with excellent teaching competencies and an Islamic character. This study has three main objectives. To analyze strategies in Islamic Education to develop students with excellence in knowledge, covering personal, pedagogical, professional, and social competencies in the digital era. To examine the implementation of Islamic Education in shaping students' character and Islamic behavior. To develop a conceptual framework to advance Islamic education in order to produce outstanding and Islamically oriented graduates. This study employs a qualitative approach conducted. The research subjects include program leaders, lecturers, and PAI students. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, which are then qualitatively analyzed through four stages: data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The research findings indicate: The strategies of the PAI Study Program in developing excellent students are implemented through curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities. The implementation of Islamic Education faces several challenges, including low student motivation, a teaching approach that tends to be dogmatic and textual, the dominance of lecture-based methods, course materials that do not fully align with students' needs and abilities, a campus environment that has not yet fully established a culture of excellence and achievement, and an evaluation system that focuses more on cognitive aspects without concrete follow-up actions.
