Center for Arab and Islamic studies

In recognition of the importance of the Arab and Islamic worlds, both historical and contemporary, St. Bonaventure University established the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies (CAIS) in 2015.

In view of the Franciscan Order’s enduring engagement with the Arab and Islamic world from 1219 until the current day, its contribution to the study of Christian-Muslim relations, and its promotion of Christian-Muslim dialogue, CAIS was established under the aegis of the Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University.
