Geography is taught under the Faculty of Science at Adamawa State University, not under the social sciences. The entry conditions reflect that, drawing the supporting subjects from the sciences throughout.
Chemistry is named at O’Level and then becomes one option among four at UTME. Geography itself is the only paper required at every stage without alternative.
Confirm that Geography appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

A Science Faculty Geography Degree at ADSU
The O’Level line names Mathematics, Chemistry, English Language and Geography, then adds two other science subjects, which comes to six credits. Candidates should confirm the exact total with the department.
The UTME combination is clearer. English Language is compulsory, Geography is fixed, and the two remaining papers come from Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and Physics.
Biology appears at that stage but is not named in the O’Level line, so the two lists do not map onto each other exactly.
Direct Entry asks for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes including Geography and one other science subject, keeping the same science framing as the earlier stages.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at ADSU and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
