About Prince Sultan University
Prince Sultan University – the first non-profit university in Saudi Arabia - was established in 1998 by the people of Riyadh spearheaded by the university’s nurturer since its fruition, and the individual who pushed it to become one of the world’s best educational facilities today: HRH King Salman Bin Abdulaziz. Celebrating the late Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz’s return from his therapeutic trip in 1998, Prince of Riyadh (at the time) HRH Salman Bin Abdulaziz, was sure to convert this occasion into a project for growth pushing it to become a trailblazing cultural structure which provides future generations with great educational benefits in preparation for their professional lives following their studies.
Since its birth, Prince Sultan University has been home to excellence through manifesting educational brilliance. A structure that takes every opportunity to prove itself a leading institution through a plethora of continued achievements. Achievements including the recent -and first- International Conference on Sustainability: Developments and Innovations (ICSDI2022), and 7th International Conference on Data Science and Machine Learning Applications (CDMA2022), to name a few.
This institution continues to meet the highest excellence standards set by various accreditation entities, as it has gained many accreditations over the years. More recently, acquiring International accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) and Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) for its Computer Science and Information Systems programs. In addition to the previous, the College of Business Administration (CBA) obtained business accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The AACSB has also granted accreditation to PSU’s Accounting Program, marking PSU the 2nd private higher education institution outside the United States to receive said accreditation.
Within itself, Prince Sultan University has an international indexed journal, study abroad programs, partnerships with higher education institutions worldwide (e.g., US, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Malaysia), and a variety of top tier graduate and undergraduate academic programs distributed among six different colleges.
The future holds more for this great institution as it continues to shine among many; through internal and external achievements, and continued support of a sustainable future through quality higher education, research, and innovation.
