Our Programmes
Degree programmes offered through open and distance learning at Rivers State University, starting with B.Sc. Business Education.
B.Sc. Business Education (Pilot Programme)
Business Education is the University’s first programme by open and distance learning. It prepares graduates to teach business subjects and to work in business, management and entrepreneurship.
The courses are drawn from the University’s approved B.Sc. Business Education curriculum. They are in line with the NUC Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standards (CCMAS) and have been approved by the University’s Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) Committee. ODL learners take the same courses and receive the same degree as students on the conventional mode.
