It is the first college in Saudi Arabia which offers postgraduate degrees, MBAs and executive education. The college was named after its founder, the then deputy crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and inaugurated on 17 June 2016. It was launched as a new private, higher education institution for both men and women.

The Prince Mohammed Bin Salman College of Business and Entrepreneurship was established through an international partnership between Emaar The Economic City, Babson Global (a wholly owned subsidiary of Babson College , US), Lockheed Martin under the umbrella of the Economic Offset Program in Saudi Arabia and the MiSK Foundation, a non-profit foundation established by Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman in 2011.

The agreement for the establishment of MBSC was signed in Washington, D.C. by Badr Al-Asaker, secretary-general of the Mohammed Bin Salman Foundation (MISK); Fahd Al-Rasheed, group CEO and MD of KAEC and vice president of the board of trustees of the college; and Kerry Healey, president of Babson College.

The college graduated the first batch of 93 MBA students in May 2019.
