It was established in 1939 as a Higher Secondary college and named after Sir Azizul Haque, the then Vice-chancellor of Calcutta University.

It is also a Study Centre for the MBA (Bangla Medium) program affiliated with Bangladesh Open University.

The college organised its first classes at Subil Free Primary School in the north side of Bogura town.

In 1941, the college was sanctioned by Calcutta University with the efforts of Sir Azizul Haque, who was the Education Minister of Non-separated Bengal.

Among the first batch students, some names are found including Mojam Paikar, Amir Ali, Shafiqur Rahman, Abdul Malek, Nurul Islam Bhola and others.

Those who served as teachers at that time were K. C. Chakraborty (English), Prabhat Chandra Sen (Bengali and Sanskrit), Md.

Abdul Gafur (Arabic and Persian), Manindra Chandra Chaki (Mathematics), S. P. Sen (History), Md.

But due to shortage of teachers and other difficulties, the College Management Committee introduced Honours and BA Pass courses only in the Department of Islamic History and Culture.

After the partition of India in 1947, the college became legally affiliated to Dhaka University in the newly formed state of Pakistan.

The old residence of the college has nine classrooms, four laboratories, a highly developed computer lab, a library, office rooms, common room for girls, a two-storied mosque, a play ground and a three-storied residential building for male students named Fakhruddin Ahmed Hall.

There is also a Shaheed Minar square and a memorial sculpture of Sir Azizul Haque inside the new residence of the college.
