Sociology is taught under the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at The Federal University, Kashere (FUKASHERE). The O’Level line asks for a science subject, which few sociology pages do.
Economics is then required at Direct Entry but is only one of three options at O’Level and absent from the UTME combination. Each stage names a different lead subject.
Confirm that Sociology appears on the current FUKASHERE course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.
