The purpose of this study was to study the status of religiosity among Islamic Azad University students, focusing on male and female students of the Islamic Azad University of Poldokhtar Center. The results of this study provide valuable guidance for top-level provincial and national administrators as well as university cultural and social managers to identify the status quo and use the appropriate tools to achieve the appropriate cultural goals according to the horizons of the university's vision and macro policies, and so it is valuable.
