Sociology is taught under the Faculty of Social & Management Science at Federal University Gashua (FUGASHUA). Government or History is the named subject at O’Level and at Direct Entry.
Mathematics is handled separately and only at pass level. It sits outside the five credits, which is the detail candidates most often read wrongly.
Confirm that Sociology appears on the current FUGASHUA course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Government or History Carries the FUGASHUA Sociology Application
The O’Level requirement is five SSCE credits in Government or History, English Language and three other subjects. Those three are unrestricted, which is unusually generous.
A pass in Mathematics is required alongside them rather than a credit. A candidate who struggled with the subject is therefore not shut out on that basis alone.
The UTME combination is the most open section. English Language is compulsory and the three remaining papers may be any Social Science or Arts subjects.
Direct Entry narrows sharply, asking for two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes in Government or History with no other subject accepted.
A JAMB score of 180 and above is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session at FUGASHUA and applies whichever route a candidate uses.
