Update from Academic Planning- New Approvals in the Kitty

The Directorate of Academic Planning (DAP) given its unique functions remains a coordination hub of all academic activities. This is why the Directorate makes conscious efforts to ensure due diligence in the take-off of new programmes and compliance with the National Universities Commission’s (NUC) Minimum Academic Standard (BMAS).

In April 2022 and line with the established practice, NUC carried out the Re-accreditation of twelve (12) matured programmes in the University, these are Accounting, Business Management, Public Administration, Human Physiology, Computer science, Quantity Surveying, Biology, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Economics, International Relations & Diplomacy, Law, etc. They were all awarded Full Accreditation Status. As of October 2022, Baze University has good academic standing with NUC on all its programmes, twenty-eight (28) programmes have Full Accreditation Status, while others are yet to mature for accreditation.
