Majmaah University’s Identity

* Majmaah University’s Identity in Light of Various University Types:

Universities may be classified by: (1) the students they serve; (2) the programs they deliver; and (3) the other purposes they serve.

For the purpose of understanding Majmaah University and its status quo, we should take into consideration the following university type classifications, namely:

• International universities;
• National universities; and
• Regional universities.

Usually, regional universities that develop distinctive high-quality programs do so because the region has special needs or offers special opportunities. For example, a regional university located in a mining region may develop particularly strong degree programs in mining and materials science. A regional university located in a coastal city may develop a strong program in marine science. However, neither of these regional universities would be considered a special-purpose university. They would be classified as comprehensive universities offering degree programs in liberal arts and sciences, teacher education, business administration, nursing, and perhaps several other professional areas to meet the needs of regional employers.

With very few exceptions, international and national universities have a long history of serving their region as regional institutions before being recognized as national or international universities.

More particularly, Majmaah University was created specifically to serve its region in the pattern of other regional universities. As a regional university, Majmaah University’s strategic partners include both regional government leaders and regional business leaders.
