This research aims to examine the comparative analysis of science unification models implemented at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) and Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD). The findings reveal that both institutions employ distinct approaches in integrating knowledge. UMY implements an Islamic Worldview-based model as its cosmological framework, which integrates Islamic intellectual traditions from the past with modern scientific disciplines. Meanwhile, UAD develops an integration-interconnection model based on Syamsul Anwar's hierarchical normative assumption paradigm. In its integration and interconnection approach, UAD establishes an Islamic worldview cosmology that encompasses tawhid (monotheism), UAD's three ethos, Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan values, and Muhammadiyah's Progressive Islamic principles. Despite their different approaches, both models contribute significantly to addressing the science dichotomy and developing modern Islamic scientific paradigms in Indonesia.
