If you are a prospective student and you are art inclined, we have compiled a rundown of all the arts disciplines approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) for all varsities in the country.
There are many arts courses on offer at a number of the universities in the country; whether you are looking for admission into any private, federal or state higher institution of learning, the various arts courses listed in this post should broaden your knowledge on how vast the arts really is, and this should help you make a focused decision having gone through the many options available whenever you decide to apply for JAMB UTME in pursuit of admission at any tertiary institution of your choice.
While there are distinct social social science courses in the country, it should not come as a surprise if you see some of these social science courses at your school’s faculty of arts. Sometimes, these disciplines are related and can be differentiated by very fine margins, that is to say, you cannot easily separate some of these disciplines as purely social science or arts courses, so do not be surprised when the familiar ones pop up in this list.
Also, the Law discipline is among the arts courses in Nigeria today but is studied under a separate faculty of law and the degrees awarded to graduating students of both faculties are purely different. While one set is awarded the Bachelor of Arts Degree (B.A), the other set is awarded the Bachelor of Laws Degree (LLB). Having said that, let us now focus our attention at the various arts courses that are on offer at every Nigerian university where the arts discipline is taught.
