Education and Christian Religious Studies is run by the Faculty of Education at Lagos State University. This page covers the O’Level credits LASU asks for, the UTME subject combination, the Direct Entry route and the JAMB score that opens screening.
Check the JAMB brochure and confirm the course is still listed under LASU before you register for UTME. Candidates who skip that step often discover the mismatch only after the registration window has closed.
Lagos State University is located in Ojo, a town in Lagos State, Nigeria. LASU is the only state university in the former British colony. Lagos State University offers diploma, degree, and postgraduate programs, including an MBA program.

Five SSCE credit passes or TC II merit in five subjects, including English Language, Religious Studies, and three other Arts subjects.
Special Consideration (Waiver) Remarks

Read that waiver line alongside the general O’Level rule above it. The general rule names English Language, Religious Studies and three Arts subjects, while the LASU remark adds Mathematics and names CRK specifically. Where the two differ, the LASU remark is the school-specific one and should guide your subject planning.

Getting LASU Christian Religious Studies Education Right Before You Apply
Build your O’Level file around five credits. English Language and Religious Studies are fixed, three other Arts subjects complete the set, and the LASU waiver remark means Mathematics and CRK should both be on your result slip.
For UTME, English Language is compulsory, and the three remaining subjects are two Arts subjects including Religious Studies plus one other. The screening threshold is a JAMB score of 160 or above.
Direct Entry candidates take a different path. Two A level passes or an NCE merit in Religious Studies and one other Arts subject will qualify you, and no UTME sitting is required on that route.
Compare each requirement against your own results now. A missing Mathematics or CRK credit can usually be repaired in the next O’Level sitting, but only if you notice it before the admission cycle moves on.
