Our Mission

The mission of the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) is to deliver an American-style education that empowers students with critical thinking, creativity, and the skills needed for academic and professional excellence in a global context.

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) offered through the School of Arts and Sciences are four-year degree programs structured to ensure students not only excel in their chosen majors but also develop a broad academic foundation through general education requirements. The curriculum emphasizes a balanced approach, blending specialized coursework with essential skills in critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving.

SAS also offers undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue a double major, allowing them to combine two degree programs and gain in-depth knowledge in both fields of study. In addition, students may enhance their undergraduate education by adding a minor—a secondary area of academic concentration that complements their primary major—through the School’s rich and diverse array of minor programs.

Equally important, SAS is home to many of Nigeria’s leading postgraduate programs, including the Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The School currently offers graduate degrees across three disciplines: Communications and Multimedia Design, English Language and Literature, and Petroleum Chemistry. In response to growing regional and national demand, the School is actively developing additional graduate programs to meet emerging academic and professional needs.

Across all its programs, the School of Arts and Sciences is committed to preparing future leaders who will help transform Nigeria, advance knowledge, and contribute meaningfully to the betterment of humankind.

At SAS, we are dedicated to empowering students to achieve academic excellence while preparing them to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

All Arts and Sciences programs are accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC). In addition, the School aspires to pursue international accreditations.
