This is to inform the general public and all Adeyemi College of Education (ACEONDO) aspirants that the Department of English/History admission requirements have been published.
The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
History and Government are treated as alternatives to each other on both lists, which widens the department considerably. A candidate needs only one of the two.
Literature in English is the subject with no alternative. It is required among the Ordinary Level credits and again as a JAMB paper.

History or Government at ACEONDO English and History
The alternative between History and Government is the most useful feature of this requirement, since it lets candidates from either background apply.
Literature in English is the credit to confirm first, because the department allows no substitute for it at either stage.
Mathematics is also required at Ordinary Level, and the JAMB score itself has to reach 120 before the college will invite a candidate to screening.
