Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship, the Kingdom's world-class business school, has celebrated its largest graduating class to date, marking a significant milestone in its journey to redefine business education in Saudi Arabia. A total of 476 graduates were honored this year across the Executive MBA, Master in Finance, and Master in Management programs — an impressive 44 percent increase from 2024. The graduating class reflects MBSC's continued momentum and strategic expansion across the Kingdom. In 2023, the school graduated 102 students; by 2024, that number rose to 330 — and now, 476 in 2025 — demonstrating a strong and sustained growth in demand for MBSC's programs. This year's graduates represent a dynamic mix of professionals from across Saudi Arabia's key sectors, including finance, government, telecommunications, and energy. The cohort includes a rising number of women leaders, entrepreneurs, and senior executives committed to driving innovation and positive impact in their fields. MBSC delivers its graduate programs across two locations: King Abdullah Economic City, its home campus, and Riyadh, in partnership with stc Academy. This geographic spread ensures increased accessibility while offering a consistently high standard of experiential, world-class education. Dr. Zeger Degraeve, dean of MBSC, said: 'This record-breaking class of graduates represents more than just numbers — it signals a growing community of empowered, purpose-driven leaders.

'MBSC has given me more than just an education — it gave me clarity in my leadership style and the confidence to make bold decisions,' said Ahmed Alsamaani, an Executive MBA graduate from the class of 2025. 'As a young Saudi woman in finance, this program shaped my voice and gave me the tools to make a meaningful impact in my field,' said Badour Alhejailan, a Master in Finance graduate. Another student, Abdulrahman Khalid Alabaykan, a Master in Management graduate, added: 'Studying at MBSC while continuing my career allowed me to apply what I learned in real time, transforming the way I contribute to my workplace.'
