Introduction - Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Introduction
The Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission in the United States of America is
pleased to present Directory of the Doctoral Dissertations of the Saudi
Graduates from US Universities (1964-2005). The purpose of publishing
this directory is to provide readers, students, and researchers with the titles
and related information concerning these doctoral dissertations in order to
facilitate research in areas recommended by the authors. The directory also
gives the opportunity to decision makers in public and private sectors to
employ doctoral graduates in various fields of knowledge and to benefit
from their expertise. By documenting these achievements the directory
reflects the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission’s respect and admiration for the
authors. It also reflects the great efforts of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in
granting its young men and women scholarships to pursue their educational
goals in order to participate in the Kingdom’s development.
In spite of its genuine efforts devoted to publishing the directory, the Saudi
Arabian Cultural Mission regrets that the directory does not include
dissertations that have not been deposited in its library. Apology is also
extended to authors of doctoral dissertations included in the directory for any
unintentional mistakes, and requests that the authors provide the Cultural
Mission with correct information.
I would like to extend my thanks to my colleagues at the Saudi Arabian
Cultural Mission for their tireless efforts. They have made this directory
available to provide a reliable source of information to students and
researchers in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.
