The first batch of graduates from the college received their Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences degree in 2005. In 2006, the college moved to its current location, which is the building previously occupied by the Ministry of Religious Endowments.

On 10/10/2018, the college obtained approval from His Excellency the Minister of Higher Education to establish a morning study department in nursing specialization for Baghdad Governorate, starting from the academic year 2018-2019, according to the Ministry’s letter numbered (T H/Aq/17719) dated 15/10/2018. This establishment aims to contribute to preparing qualified nursing personnel capable of providing medical assistance within health institutions, in line with international standards of knowledge and performance to serve the community, and bearing responsibility in caring for patients and those in need of healthcare services.
