"Islamic studies has a long history at Harvard. Since the early twentieth century, Harvard has established professorships and committed resources to the study of Islam and the Muslim world. The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies Program brings together Harvard's ten faculties by exploring Islam and Islamic civilization through the lens of a variety of disciplines. True to Harvard's tradition of academic excellence and innovation, the AISP aims to futher Islamic studies through support of faculty and student scholars who are opening up new avenues of scholarship that can be foundational for succeeding  generations of scholars."
