NUC accredits all Covenant University programmes

Covenant University has recorded another feat in validation of its academic programmes as the National Universities Commission (NUC) for the third time approved all the programmes presented to it by the University for accreditation.

In a letter sent to the Proprietors by the NUC, the apex regulatory body for university education in Nigeria said all the 11 matured programmes presented to it by the University during last November nationwide accreditation evaluation exercise were successful.

The breakdown of the report showed that apart from the high scores recorded by the programmes, the University received full accreditation in its Accounting, Banking & Finance, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Economics, Estate Management, French and Psychology programmes respectively.

Other programmes that received accreditation include Political Science, Mass Communication, Sociology and International Relations.
