Confirm that Business Administration is still listed at LASU before you register for JAMB. The waiver section names the subjects that the general O Level line leaves undefined.

LASU is the only state university in the former British colony. Lagos State University offers diploma, degree, and postgraduate programmes, including an MBA program.

Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks
LASU
- Business Administration requires one of Commerce, Geography, or Government.
- Insurance requires one of Geography, Commerce, Business Methods, or Statistics.
- Public Administration requires Government as the other subject.
The LASU waiver is specific. For Business Administration the additional subject must be Commerce, Geography or Government, which settles the relevant subjects phrase above.
The block also covers two neighbouring programmes, so read the Business Administration line rather than the Insurance or Public Administration ones.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Business Administration if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require; Two ‘A’ level passes, including Economics.
Direct Entry names Economics alone. The second A Level pass carries no stated restriction, which makes this the most open of the three routes.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into LASU for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 160 or above in your JAMB result.
What LASU Means by Relevant Subjects in Business Administration
Economics is required at every stage, with English Language and Mathematics compulsory among the credits and on the JAMB form. Those three are the foundation of the application.
The waiver supplies the missing detail, naming Commerce, Geography or Government as the additional subject for this course. Confirm your credits against that line and clear 160 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
