MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Prince Sultan University is directly linked to one of the major milestone changes in the higher
education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, namely the successful introduction and
establishment of private higher education to this country when it was needed most. PSU is firmly
committed to providing quality education with the highest international standards. Doing the best
has been, and will continue to be PSU’s guiding light. The emphasis at PSU is not on the quantity
of students and programs, but on the quality of our graduates, who are in high demand in the
marketplace. Thus, our undergraduate programs are aimed at producing the next generation of
professionals who will contribute in directing the course of progress in Saudi Arabia in the fields of
engineering, business, and modern technology in a globalized world.

Since its inception in 1999, this university has been moving forward continuously in building a
strong, dynamic, and agile institution. Its educational efforts are focused on enhancing academic
quality, personal growth, practical skills, strong leadership, and practical training – all of which will
prepare students to excel in their chosen career fields in accordance with the ambitious Saudi
Vision 2030.

Our vision is to be recognized as a model of excellence in private higher education in the Kingdom
and the Middle East region. To this end, we have established up-to-date academic programs to
keep up with the market needs in several important fields. The academic curricula are carefully
designed and based on international standards. We offer our students a unique educational
experience in a supportive learning environment of scholastic excellence.

It is my pleasure to introduce the Prince Sultan University updated Undergraduate Bulletin, one of
the most important tools available to you as you map out your path to completing your PSU
degree. This bulletin is intended to provide the information you need regarding the academic
offerings available in PSU’s degree-granting programs. It is the official source of information
regarding degree requirements, rules and regulations, programs of study and courses. Becoming
familiar with the bulletin is, perhaps, the best thing to use in exploring the degree programs
available at PSU. Reading the bulletin will save you time and highlight what is expected of PSU
students.

Good luck on your journey ahead. The University welcomes you to begin that march via a
challenging and fruitful academic life en route to a promising career and attractive future.

Dr. Ahmed S. Yamani
