The B.Sc. (Honors) degree in Accounting at Ajayi Crowther University runs for four years. Candidates reach it either through UTME, where ordinary level credits decide eligibility, or through direct entry, where a professional or post secondary qualification takes the place of those credits.
The ordinary level condition names five subjects outright. English Language, Mathematics and Economics are fixed, and the remaining two are one social science topic plus any other subject, taken from WASCE, GCE or NECO.
This article sets out the entry conditions Ajayi Crowther University applies to Accounting applicants, covering both the credit requirement and the five accepted direct entry qualifications. Read the subject combination carefully before you register, because the sitting rule changes the number of credits required.
Requirements for Entry
Admission requirements for the University and Faculty of Social and Management Sciences must be met by students planning to major in accounting.
These students must have earned at least five credits in English Language, Mathematics, Economics, one social science topic, and any other subject in WASCE, GCE, or NECO in a single sitting or six credits in a maximum of two sittings.
The number of credits therefore depends on how many sittings are used. Five credits are enough when they come from one sitting, while a candidate spreading results across two sittings needs six.
