Abstract
The development of human resources development (HRD) in Islamic religious colleges is one of the key points in building a competitive advantage towards Word Class University (WCU). The progress and setback of a higher education institution are determined by the quality of human resources. The government through the Ministry of Religion continuously encourages National Islamic Religious Colleges throughout Indonesia to develop the quality of HRD and improve the quality of their institutions. In achieving competitive advantage and being able to compete in the global market, other factors that must be developed by National Islamic Higher Education are community empowerment and networking. The community development factor is a strategy of sharing responsibility from within the university as an organization outside the university in relevant local activities to understand social and environmental behavior.
