Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship (MBSC) celebrated its 8th graduation ceremony on February 13, honoring 596 graduates from the Class of 2026, the largest class to date.
This year, MBSC celebrated the graduation of 596 students across its graduate programs — 322 Executive MBA (EMBA), 214 Master in Management (MiM), and 60 Master in Finance (MiF) graduates, reinforcing MBSC’s role in developing business leaders with real-world capability. The Class of 2026 was 97% Saudi nationals, with women 33% representing a significant share of graduates.
At the ceremony, MBSC recognized the Class of 2026 for the discipline and leadership demonstrated throughout their graduate journey, reflecting the College’s focus on developing principled leaders with the confidence to take on real responsibility.
Dr. Zeger Degraeve, Dean of MBSC, said: “Our graduates leave equipped not only with academic knowledge, but with the practical tools, values and networks to lead organizations, launch ventures, and contribute meaningfully to the Kingdom’s evolving economy”.
Several graduates will continue their entrepreneurial development through MBSC’s Scale Up Bootcamp in April, delivered in partnership with the Babson Global Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
MBSC has also expanded its Case Center, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia, and developed more than 100 teaching cases focused on the Saudi business environment.
The ceremony marks another milestone in MBSC’s mission to develop (entrepreneurial or innovative) leaders who support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 transformation.
