This catalog describes what is available and what is expected to complete a program of study successfully. It is essential for planning one’s academic experiences and can be most useful when supplemented with faculty advising and guidance. Course acronyms and codes have been standardized for easier reference. For example, one acronym for each graduate program, irrespective of the number of tracks within that program. All graduate programs and their tracks, if any, are first listed in alphabetical order; followed by course listings, course descriptions and study plans.
While the information in this catalog is current at the time of publication, Alfaisal University reserves the right to change or delete any of its courses of study, course offerings, schedule, and other changes, policies, or programs of the University at any time and without any notice. General academic policies are published in the Graduate Student Handbook and forms a companion to the programs, curricula and study plans outlined in the Graduate Catalog. Both documents are available online through the Graduate School web site.
A candidate for a degree may choose to graduate under the regulations of the catalog and policies & procedures in force at the time of enrolment or any subsequent catalog, provided that the catalog chosen is not more than seven years old. A student must have been enrolled under the catalog selected and must conform to the degree requirements of that catalog.
While Alfaisal University is committed to academic quality, the University is not able to guarantee that a student’s pursuit of a particular course of study will result in any profession or occupation, or admission to other undergraduate or graduate courses of study at other institutions. Advisors and college officials make every effort to provide current information to students, but it is the student’s responsibility to know all applicable policies and degree requirements.
