STUDENT FAQS

Q: When will I graduate?

A: PMU opened the core curriculum and preparatory programs in fall 2006. Each of the three colleges opened in the fall of 2007 with majors in Interior Design, Business Administration, and Information Technology. Like any university in the world, each student will study at his/her own pace. PMU will offer as many courses as possible in all offered majors once the university is fully-staffed and the facilities are completed. The timeline for the opening of each degree program is available online and is subject to change.

Q: What is the purpose of the core curriculum?

A: The purpose of the core curriculum is to provide a seamless education for the PMU graduate so he/she can meet the competencies of leadership, teamwork, strong technological skills, excellent communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving skills, and professional competence. All students, whether native speakers or not, need to fulfill the core requirements in the areas of English, mathematics, social and physical sciences, professional development (UNIV courses), and Arabic and Islamic studies. These courses along with the capstone assessment series form the foundation for a well-rounded PMU graduate.
