Prince
Sultan
University
(PSU) is a
newly
established
institution
of higher
education,
founded in
1999. The
business
community of
Riyadh first
developed
the idea of
founding the
university.
They
dedicated
PSU to HRH
Prince
Sultan bin
Abdul Aziz
to celebrate
his
homecoming
after his
successful
medical
treatment
aboard. HRH
Prince
Sultan Abdul
Aziz
congratulated
the
community on
this
initiative,
and he gave
a generous
donation to
the Riyadh
Philanthropic
Society for
Sciences to
express his
personal
support for
this
important
undertaking.
HRH Prince
Salman bin
Abdul Aziz
has been the
Chairman of
the Board of
Directors of
the Riyadh
Philanthropic
Society for
Sciences
since the
very
beginning,
and in this
capacity, he
was
instrumental
in the
establishment
of Prince
Sultan
University,
of which he
is an
enthusiastic
patron.
PSU received
its first
enrolment
applications
at the
beginning of
the
1999/2000
(1420/1421
AH) academic
year. In its
first year,
the College
had a total
of 276 male
students
enrolled in
the
Preparatory
Year Program
(PYP). In
2001,
addressing
the need to
offer
learning
opportunities
for females
in Saudi
Arabia and
neighboring
Arab
countries,
the College
for Women
was
established.
With the
approval
from the
Ministry of
Higher
Education,
Prince
Sultan
Private
College
officially
changed its
name to
Prince
Sultan
University
(PSU) in
2003-2004,
academic
year.

non-profit
institution
dedicated to
life-long
learning
opportunities
for both men
and women in
Saudi
Arabia.
Today, the
University
enjoys a
national
reputation
for its
commitment
to service
and
excellence
in teaching
and
research. It
has grown in
number
reaching 1,
546 male and
female
students,
under three
(3) Colleges
offering ten
major
academic
programs in
