Four year BS program in the discipline of Biotechnology (BS Biotechnology) is conducted at Dow College of Biotechnology (DCoB). The course has been extensively designed to produce competent human resources in the field of biotechnology, and to train graduates to apply scientific knowledge to address the locally prevalent health issues and to cater to the industrial needs.

Over the years, Dow College of Biotechnology has progressed exceptionally well and is now known for its academics and research across the country. In recent times, research conducted at Dow College of Biotechnology during the COVID-19 pandemic has been praised both nationally and internationally and has led to some of the best research publications from Pakistan on SARS-CoV-2 with considerable theoretical and practical insights. 

The college has highly qualified (majorly PhD) faculty which are actively engaged in research along with the teaching activities. To ensure translation of theoretical knowledge into practical application, students are encouraged to get engaged with small to advanced level research projects with faculty as they move along during the four years of their education. This approach makes Dow College of Biotechnology unique amongst its contemporaries. The graduates of DCoB along with the faculty in one of the testimonies, wrote in the peer reviewed international scientific journals in the last two years with extensive cross citations in a short period of time. 

Dow College of Biotechnology maintains strong linkage in order to keep students aware of the recent development and demands of the indigenous industries. The college has also introduced a student exchange program with some of the prestigious universities across the globe. 

With the team's highly competent faculty and supporting staff, I am confident that we will extend our utmost support to the students to excel in their respective careers in order to attain their goals in life. 

I wish all the best to all the current and prospective students of Dow College of Biotechnology, Godspeed.
