NOUN courses: full list of programmes by faculty

NOUN offers 120 programmes: 59 undergraduate and 61 postgraduate, across seven undergraduate faculties (Agricultural Sciences, Arts, Education, Health Sciences, Management Sciences, Science, Social Sciences) plus law, computing and ACETEL postgraduate programmes. Of the 59 undergraduate programmes, 55 hold full NUC accreditation and 3 hold interim status — check your specific programme below rather than assuming the whole university carries one blanket status.

How to read this table

"Full" accreditation means the National Universities Commission (NUC) has fully approved the programme. "Interim" means NUC has granted provisional approval pending further review. "Resource verified" (used for most postgraduate programmes below) means NUC has verified the resources for the programme as part of the accreditation process. This is NOUN's own November 2024 list — accreditation status can change at NUC's next review cycle, so treat anything more than a year or two old as due for a recheck against NOUN's current published list.
