The B.A. (Hons.) degree in Public Administration is a three- or four-year program that provides the graduate with a broad background toward a successful career in various occupations and professions.
This article will help all Ajayi Crowther University aspirants (ACU) know their O’Level subjects and UTME Subjects combination to study Public Administration. And it will also enable them to gain admission into the school without difficulty.
Economics is the one subject that appears in every part of this application. It is named among the O’level credits, named in the UTME combination, and named again as the required A level pass.
Beyond Economics, the conditions are stated in categories rather than particular subjects, asking for relevant subjects at O’level and a social science paper in the UTME.
The length of the degree also depends on your route in, with direct entry candidates taking three years and UTME candidates four.
To avoid mistakes, all aspirants should carefully read the subject combination for both O’Level and UTME.
Admission Requirement
Direct Entry Requirement:
Two (2) A-Level passes, including Economics.
Only one of the two A level subjects is specified, which leaves the second open. An applicant without A level Economics, however, does not meet this condition.
UTME Requirement:
Five (5) SSC credit passes, including English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and two (2) other relevant subjects.
Three credits are named and two are described as relevant. Since relevant is not defined here, candidates whose remaining credits sit outside the social sciences should check them with the department.
UTME Subject combination:
Mathematics, Economics, and any other Social Science subject
English Language is not listed in that combination, although it is required among the O’level credits and is normally compulsory in the UTME. Confirm the exact papers with the current JAMB brochure.

Whichever route you take, Economics is required. A candidate without it at O’level cannot satisfy the UTME requirement, and one without it at A level cannot use direct entry.
Alongside it you need English Language and Mathematics among your five credits, plus two further subjects the department regards as relevant.
Two things are worth settling before you register: which subjects count as relevant, and the exact UTME combination, since English Language is absent from the list given above.
Direct entry also shortens the programme from four years to three, which makes two A level passes including Economics worth pursuing if you are close to them.
