Important Notes:
The NUC did not grant approval for the B.Sc. (Ed) Accounting programme due to the non-availability of the BMAS (Benchmark Minimum Academic Standard), and therefore, the university is advised to apply for the B.Sc. Business Education programme instead.
Additionally, the B.Sc. Nutrition and Dietetics programme should be domiciled in the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences. It is essential to emphasize that the approval does not include the part-time mode of delivery for the undergraduate programmes.
Compliance and Growth:
The university is reminded to adhere strictly to the approved titles and nomenclature of the programmes, as any changes must be approved by the Commission. GSU is also urged to ensure the provision of adequate human and material resources to facilitate the development and growth of the approved programmes.
Conclusion:
Gombe State University’s receipt of NUC approval for new programmes marks a significant achievement for the institution. These programmes will undoubtedly contribute to the university’s academic offerings and enhance the educational opportunities available to students.
GSU is commended for its commitment to providing quality education and its dedication to meeting the needs of various academic fields.
