commerce and accounting, the ministry will offer more majors for all levels of higher education, from bachelor to Ph.D. The new majors for the year 2006-2007 are classical and new languages, oriental studies, European law, English language, political science and economic science. The ministry has implemented a new rule for students who will start their studies in January, February and March. These students will have to turn in their latest original diplomas in order to finalize the procedure for obtaining the scholarship. The new rule was implemented to ensure the commitment of students to studying in the US. Previously, some students would submit their diplomas to Saudi universities before going to the US in case they decide to drop out and return to continue their studies back home. --spa 10 35 Local Time 07 35 GMT
