Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University

Prince Mohammad bin Fahd University is abbreviated by PMU (Arabic: جامعة الأمير محمد بن فهد ) is a new private university in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The school is named after Prince Muhammad bin Fahd, Former governor of the Eastern Province. Degrees issued by PMU are internationally accepted and credit earned at the University is accepted for transfers in most US universities. General Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) is the first private institution of higher learning in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia licensed by the Ministry of Higher Education and located in the Al-Khobar region of the Eastern Province. The initiative to establish the university was taken by a group of renowned individuals from the Eastern Province under the auspices of HRH Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Bin Abdulaziz. PMU adopts the north American model of education and its system (administrative, financial and academic programs) was designed by Texas International Educational Consortium (TIEC). TIEC is a consortium of 32 American universities in Texas. The PMU is a learning-centered community where the emphasis is on the students, technology infuses the education experience, and students graduate with unique competencies that empower them and enable them to contribute to the Kingdom's business and industrial community. These qualities make the PMU a unique institution in Saudi Arabia, yet the PMU is unquestionably a Saudi university. It fully embodies the cultural and religious values of the Saudi people.
