The B.Sc. (Hons) degree program in mass communication is a four-year program for UTME applicants and a three-year program for Direct Entry (DE) candidates.
This article will help all Ajayi Crowther University aspirants (ACU) know their O’Level subjects and UTME Subjects combination to study Mass Communication. And it will also enable them to gain admission into the school without difficulty.
One detail in the entry requirement sets this department apart. Mathematics is needed only at pass level, not as a credit, which is unusual and helpful for arts stream candidates.
Literature in English, by contrast, is compulsory as a credit and appears again in the direct entry condition, making it the subject that decides most applications here.
To avoid mistakes, all aspirants should carefully read the subject combination for both O’Level and UTME.

Requirements for entry
Students who wish to major in mass communication must fulfill all requirements set forth by the university and the faculty of social and management sciences.
Students must have completed at least five credits at the ordinary level of the General Certificate of Education, including English Language, Literature in English, and any two Arts/Social Science subjects, as well as a pass in Mathematics in one sitting or six credits in a maximum of two sittings.
Read the Mathematics clause carefully. It sits outside the credit requirement, so a pass is sufficient there while the other named subjects all have to be credits.
The sitting rule works as elsewhere. Five credits from a single examination, or six if your results come from two, with the named subjects included in either case.
For Direct Entry, the student must have an “A” level in English literature or its equivalent and one additional subject from the arts or social sciences.
English literature is compulsory on this route too, and the phrase or its equivalent means a comparable advanced qualification may be considered in its place.
About the Programme
To prepare the graduate for a successful career in various occupations, the curriculum gives the graduate a wide communication/media background. Additionally, it offers a strong academic foundation for those pursuing advanced degrees (MA, Ph.D.).
The department highly values practical work in the studios, newsroom, press, and on the field. For 300-level undergraduate students, mandatory industrial attachments are set up.
A Pass in Mathematics for ACU Mass Communication
The Mathematics concession is the most useful detail on this page. Candidates who passed but did not earn a credit in it can still meet the entry requirement.
What they cannot work around is Literature in English, which has to be a credit at O’level and an A level subject for direct entry applicants.
Count your credits against your sitting pattern, decide which route fits your qualifications, and confirm the current conditions with the faculty before you register.
