History is taught under the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at Adamawa State University. The History paper is required on all three routes, with Arts subjects filling the remaining places.
The O’Level line is the odd one out, naming Mathematics and Chemistry alongside History. Neither appears again at UTME or Direct Entry.
Confirm that History appears on the current ADSU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
