The College of Arts and Humanities was established in the academic year 1389/1390 AH, and the first department opened in it, the "English Language Department," in the same year. The first cohort that joined numbered 28 male and female students. The college continued along a path of development until its departments and programs were no longer limited to theoretical studies alone, but went beyond that to specialize in broad and diverse scientific and practical fields, becoming a source for refining human thought. It introduced new specialized tracks within its various academic departments and established numerous partnerships to keep pace with the development taking place in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to contribute to providing scientifically and practically qualified competencies in line with the requirements of the labor market and development plans.
