Vision College of Dentistry and Nursing was established in Riyadh in 2009 to be a tributary of dental and nursing sciences, modern knowledge and a contemporary civilization project that embodies the vision of the wise leadership in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in spreading science and knowledge and meet the needs of the Saudi society.

Vision College of Medicine was established based on the approval of the Ministry of Higher Education No. 65019, dated 08/18/1430 AH, and the first batch was accepted in the academic year 2014-2015.

As part of the continuous improvement process to meet the ambitious vision of the Colleges, Vision Colleges have launched the project of re-organization to harmonize the institutional efforts under the umbrella of one College. This initiative was endorsed by unifying the higher administrative level in terms of one Dean, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, and Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs operating the Colleges. The project has been almost accomplished by the approval of the re-organization proposal by the Ministry of Education (MOE). The MOE approved the request of BOT for approval of merging Vision College of Medicine in Riyadh and Vision College of Dentistry & Nursing in Riyadh to be one college named ‘Vision College in Riyadh’ (Decision No. 66348 Date 13-6-1443 AH/16-1-2022).
