Al-Jouf University contains ten colleges on its main campus in Sakaka and a number of other colleges on various sub-campuses, some of them being former separate community colleges. These include:[citation needed]
The Community College of Sakaka was originally an all-girls college ran under the Ministry of Education separately from the university. It was formally joint to Al-Jouf University in April 2007 when a royal decree was issued for all community colleges in the kingdom to join major universities.
The Community College of Sakaka currently has an English Language Faculty and an Applied Natural Sciences Faculty for both male and female students. Students can choose between a two-year preparatory diploma or a bachelor's degree in the available faculties.[4]
