This article is designed to help students who wish to study Economics under the Faculty of Social & Management Sciences at Kaduna State University.
It is very important for all candidates who wish to apply for any of the courses offered in KASU to carefully confirm and see if the course they Selected is offered in the institution before registering for JAMB.
Economics and Mathematics appear together at every stage, in the Ordinary Level credits, in the JAMB combination and in the direct entry condition.
The option lists around them are wide. Six subjects are offered for the third JAMB paper and ten for the second Advanced Level pass.
The Kaduna State University was established under the Kaduna State Law Number 3 promulgated on 21st May 2004. The promulgation resulted from the obvious and felt need to boost higher education in the State and the country in general.
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Economics;
You require; Five SSCE credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Economics, and any two of the Arts or Social Science subjects.
Three credits are named and the last two must come from the Arts or the Social Sciences, which keeps the requirement closed to a purely science profile.

Economics With Mathematics at KASU
The pairing of Economics and Mathematics runs through this whole requirement, so a candidate holding both is most of the way to meeting it.

Aspirants of Kaduna State University (KASU) applying by direct entry have ten subjects to choose from for their second Advanced Level pass, and UTME candidates need at least 180 for the screening exercise.
