The Prince Mohammad Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship (MBSC) was established in 2016 as the first higher education institution in Saudi Arabia specifically dedicated to entrepreneurship. Located in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), MBSC is a private, comprehensive business school shaped by international collaborations. The college was founded in partnership with Babson Global, Lockheed Martin, and the MiSK Foundation, and it welcomes students from across the Kingdom and beyond.
