Can a science or art student study Entrepreneurship?

Yes! If you are a Science, Commercial or Art student, you can study Entrepreneurship at the university provided you have the required subjects combined in your O level result. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects to fit your desired course during WAEC registration because some schools may go against it.

Also, during WAEC or NECO registration make sure you know which subjects are been registered for you because some secondary schools are ignorant about the importance of O level requirements for university courses. Another alternative way to register the required subject combinations for Entrepreneurship is through GCE.
