Prince Sultan University (PSU) (Arabic: جامعة الأمير سلطان), formerly Prince Sultan College, is a private university in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located in the King Salman Neighborhood. Established in 1998, it is the first private institute of Saudi Arabia and was named after the country's then-defense minister Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, who later served as the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia from 2005 until his death in 2011.
Initially, it was founded as Prince Sultan Private College in 1998 by the Riyadh Philanthropic Society for Sciences and received university status in 2003. The university offers a number of bachelor's and master's degrees in various business, technical, and humanities fields.
In 2022, the president of PSU instructed faculty to cite publications by other PSU faculty in their own publications and paid faculty extra for doing so as part of an effort to inflate the standing of the university.[1] The Committee on Publication Ethics considers this practice unethical.[1]
