ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to survey the courses
available at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
The study sample was made up of six Faculties
of the University namely, Administration, Engineering,
Lavw, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and
Medicine and the School of Basic Studies, Data were
collected from brochures and prospectuses of the sample
Faculties and Departments and also through interview with
Students, Lecturers and Secretaries of the appropriate
Faculties and Departments,
The study showed that all the sample faculties offer
courses that lead to the award of bachelor's degrees.
However, some faculties run more courses than others
thus awarding more decrees than others. The Faculties
of Law and Administration offer Diploma and Certificate
courses in addition to degree courses.
The School of Basic Studies and some Faculties such
as Engineering, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, and
Veterinary Medicine are open to science candidates only.
The study also revealed that Mathematics and
English form the basic requirements for entry to the
university,

The study has shown that there is need for Career
Masters and Guidance Counsellors to help students
understand their abilities and to be able to relate
their abilities and intereots to their academic
preferences. To achieve this, recommendations are
made for the government to train and employ more
guidance counsellors who will help students in their
academic and career aspirations find choices.
