The Lagos State University (LASU) Open and Distance Learning & Research Institute (ODLRI) is now selling application forms for admission into its B.Sc. Business Administration programme for the 2024/2025 academic session.
The Institute was established by the Senate and Council of Lagos State University and approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC) to cater to individuals eager for higher education but unable to access it due to time constraints or limited admission spaces in conventional institutions. The Institute is research-oriented and aims to produce world-class graduates equipped with 21st-century skills to contribute meaningfully to socio-economic development.
Available Programme: Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Business Administration
Programme Duration: The LASU ODLRI B.Sc. Degree Programme runs for four years, just like the standard on-campus course. It includes regular academic activities and research-based learning, all adapted for distance learners.
Mode of Teaching and Learning: Classes are delivered through blended learning, meaning both online and face-to-face interaction where needed. The system is built to be fast, reliable, and accessible. Students are expected to be comfortable using computers and the internet since most lectures and materials will be shared online.
