This study aims to analyze the curriculum management of the Kursus Ulama Tarjih (KUT) or Ulama Tarjih Course program organized by Muhammadiyah in North Sumatra Province. This research employed a qualitative field study method with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and document analysis. Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony was used to examine how the KUT program strengthens Muhammadiyah’s ideology. The findings reveal that, as part of its efforts to regenerate religious scholars (al-‘ulamâ’), Muhammadiyah North Sumatra has been organizing the KUT program since 2002. The program runs for two years in collaboration with Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU). The curriculum management of KUT emphasizes mastery of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and the Qur’an. The teaching methods employed are modern, including classical classroom systems, seminar discussions, and practical exercises. The KUT program plays a significant role in the regeneration of ulama by adopting an inclusive and modern curriculum while reinforcing Muhammadiyah’s ideology amidst changing times.
