The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program seeks to bridge gaps in understanding between East and West and ensure that Harvard's capacity in Islamic Studies matches more fully the depth of Islam's rich historical and geographically diverse cultures.

By bringing together faculty, students and researchers from across the University, the Program builds on Harvard's strong commitment to the study of the religious traditions of the world.
