Introduction
The College of Science in Dammam is the first educational institution in the Eastern Province that provides higher educational in various scientific disciplines for girls. It was founded in 1399 AH (1979), and the first batch (112 students) was graduated in 1403/1402 AH. The number has increased successively to meet the community's needs in education and knowledge dissemination.
