Economics at Ajayi Crowther University (ACU) takes four years through UTME and three years through direct entry. Every admission into the department passes through JAMB, so the ordinary level credits and the UTME papers both matter.
Three subjects repeat across every list on this page. English, Mathematics and Economics appear in the ordinary level credits and again in the UTME combination, with a social science subject filling the fourth place in each.
Direct entry works differently. It is built on Advanced Level passes rather than on the credit count, and the department states a clear order of preference among the subjects a candidate can offer alongside Economics.
Course Entry/Admission Requirements in BSc in Economics at Ajayi Crowther University:
UTME Subjects Requirements
All admissions into the department are made through JAMB. To be admitted, a candidate seeking admission into the department must possess at least credit passes at one sitting or six credit passes at not more than two sittings at WAEC, GCE, NECO, or approved equivalent.
Acceptable Ordinary Level credit passes include Mathematics, English Language, Economics, and any one Social Science subject. UTME Subjects should include the Use of English, Mathematics, Economics, and any other Social Science.
The two lists line up closely. A candidate who holds the required credits in Mathematics, English Language and Economics is already carrying three of the four UTME papers.

Direct Entry
For candidates seeking admission into the 3-year program, Advanced Level passes in Economics, and any other social sciences and humanities subject is required for admission.
Preference will also be given to candidates who, in addition to possessing an A/Level pass in Economics, have A/Level passes in any two of the following: Mathematics, Physics, Agricultural Science, Statistics, Geography, Accounting, Business Management, and Government.
Economics is therefore compulsory on the direct entry route. The second paper may come from the social sciences or the humanities, but the eight listed subjects carry an advantage during selection.

Why Economics Graduates Are Employable
Students who choose to study economics graduate with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the business savvy necessary to excel in the professional world, and the knowledge required to comprehend complicated markets.
Economics can be useful for professionals in all industries and daily life, not just in business.
Lining Up Your Subjects for ACU Economics
Start with the three fixed subjects. English, Mathematics and Economics must appear in your ordinary level credits, and the same three sit inside the UTME combination alongside one further social science paper.
Direct entry candidates should aim for Economics plus two of the eight preferred Advanced Level subjects, since that combination is what the department says it favours during selection.
The credit passes requirement on this page does not state how many credits are needed for the single sitting option. Confirm that figure with the current JAMB brochure or with the Department of Economics before you apply.
