In 2004, Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) established the DG Khan Campus to enhance higher education access in the Dera Ghazi Khan area. Since its inception, the campus has grown from one department to several, focusing on providing quality education and building robust industry partnerships.
In 2023, the Punjab government granted independent university status to the DG Khan, Sahiwal, and Layyah campuses. Consequently, the DG Khan campus is now recognized as Ghazi University, Dera Ghazi Khan.
Strategically located in the heart of the city, near Pull Daat and College Chowk, the university has become a symbol of aspiration for local learners. Widely appreciated across various platforms, it fulfills a long standing dream of educational access in the region. The Government of Punjab formally established the university through legislative action in 2012. However, it began operating as a fully functional institution on June 11, 2014.
Currently, Ghazi University affiliates with 25 colleges across the D.G. Khan Division, enrolling over 9,000 students. Plans are underway to expand both infrastructure and academic offerings to better serve neighboring regions, including parts of Balochistan and Sindh.
