LASU Agricultural Economics & Farm Management Requirements 2026/2027
Agricultural Economics and Farm Management at Lagos State University (LASU) combines agriculture with economics, farm decision-making and resource management. LASU’s current Foundation programme list includes Agricultural Economics and Farm Management, while the university’s academic staff directory identifies specialists in Agricultural Economics and Farm Management within Agriculture. That gives current institutional support for this course route.
2026/2027 LASU admission baseline
For the 2026/2027 admission cycle, LASU’s official screening portal states that full-time UTME candidates need at least 195 in the 2026 UTME. LASU must be the candidate’s first choice, and the O’Level result intended for admission must be uploaded to JAMB CAPS before screening.
The 195 score is the university’s minimum screening baseline. It does not guarantee admission into Agricultural Economics and Farm Management. A candidate must still satisfy the course subjects and any competitive selection standard used for the programme.
O’Level subjects
LASU’s course-requirements data for this programme identifies English Language and Chemistry, plus Biology or Agricultural Science, together with an accepted subject from Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Economics or another approved Science area. Applicants should confirm the complete current credit arrangement through LASU’s live Course Requirements Checker before applying.
The wording matters. Biology and Agricultural Science appear as alternatives in the stored LASU requirement, while the additional subject is selected from the accepted list. Do not assume that any five-credit result is sufficient simply because it contains several science subjects. Match each compulsory subject against the actual result you plan to upload.
UTME subjects: use the live LASU checker
LASU’s official Course Requirements Checker is the appropriate source for the programme’s exact UTME subject combination. The checker states that its programme-specific O’Level and UTME information is based on the JAMB Brochure.
Do not copy the UTME combination for Agriculture, Economics or another agricultural course just because the subjects overlap. Agricultural Economics and Farm Management should be selected directly in the official checker before JAMB registration, change of course or screening payment.
Direct Entry
LASU’s 2026/2027 portal provides a Direct Entry route for applicants with relevant OND, NCE, HND, A-Level or equivalent qualifications. Direct Entry candidates need a valid JAMB Direct Entry registration, must select LASU as first choice and must submit the required credentials.
That general Direct Entry category does not mean every agricultural, business or economics qualification is accepted automatically. For this programme, the relevance of the qualification, the grade obtained and the current programme-specific rule should be confirmed before applying.
Mode covered by this guide
This page covers the full-time undergraduate admission route through LASU’s central screening system. Foundation or other entry pathways have their own procedures. Applicants using LASU JUPEB should follow the Foundation programme instructions and then confirm the correct progression route into the degree.
Current application status
As of 22 September 2026, LASU’s official admission portal is displaying the 2026/2027 screening exercise and provides a “Start Screening” route for UTME, Direct Entry and LASU JUPEB candidates. The university also instructs applicants to make LASU first choice and upload their O’Level result to JAMB CAPS.
Screening dates and payment windows can change within an admission session. If a portal closes later, that should not be confused with the course being discontinued. Programme existence and application-window status are separate questions.
Applicant checklist
- Check English Language and Chemistry on your O’Level result.
- Confirm whether you are using Biology or Agricultural Science for the required science component.
- Verify the additional accepted subject in the live LASU checker.
- Use the official checker for the exact UTME combination.
- Confirm your 2026 UTME score meets LASU’s current screening baseline and any higher programme-specific standard.
- Make LASU your first choice and upload O’Level results to JAMB CAPS.
- For Direct Entry, verify qualification relevance and minimum grade before assuming eligibility.
Official sources
Use the LASU 2026/2027 Admission Screening Portal for current-cycle rules and the LASU Course Requirements Checker for programme subjects. LASU’s current Foundation course list and academic staff records also identify Agricultural Economics and Farm Management as an active field within the university.
Bottom line: verify the agricultural science subjects first, then confirm the exact UTME or Direct Entry route in LASU’s live source. A screening score alone does not replace the course-specific subject requirement.
How to use the requirement if you have mixed science and commercial subjects
Agricultural Economics and Farm Management sits between agriculture and economics, so applicants often have results containing both science and commercial subjects. Do not decide eligibility from the course name alone. Start with the compulsory subjects LASU lists, then check whether your remaining credit fits one of the accepted Mathematics, Physics, Geography, Economics or Science options. This prevents an applicant with a generally strong result from overlooking one missing compulsory science credit.
How to use this requirement in the current admission cycle
LASU's course checker gives the programme-specific O'Level and UTME subject pattern, while the current screening portal controls the live admission exercise. For 2026/2027 the screening portal requires LASU as first choice, a minimum UTME score of 195 for UTME candidates, the O'Level result on JAMB CAPS and the appropriate UTME/Direct Entry category. Treat the course requirement and the screening rule as two separate checks: you need both.
Before a change of course, compare your actual result line by line with the compulsory subjects. Do not assume a higher UTME score repairs a missing O'Level subject, and do not assume an ND, HND, NCE or JUPEB qualification accepted by one department is accepted by another. Where the Direct Entry paragraph is broad, use the current JAMB brochure and the institution's screening portal before submitting credentials.
