Why some universities do not offer every course
Not every Nigerian university offers every JAMB-listed course. Universities are either comprehensive, covering most disciplines, or specialised, focusing on a narrower range such as technology, agriculture or theology.
The National Universities Commission accredits each programme separately, and the absence of a course in an institution's catalogue usually reflects either the institution's strategic focus or the fact that the NUC has not yet approved that specific programme for the institution. KSU's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Urban and Regional Planning sits outside the KSU undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does KSU offer Urban and Regional Planning for postgraduate study?
Urban and Regional Planning is not currently in the KSU undergraduate catalogue tracked in this guide. Postgraduate availability is a separate question handled by the institution's school of postgraduate studies, and should be confirmed on the official KSU portal.
When might KSU add Urban and Regional Planning to its programmes?
New undergraduate programmes require National Universities Commission accreditation and the development of curricula, faculty and infrastructure. There is no public timeline for KSU adding Urban and Regional Planning, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Urban and Regional Planning at KSU?

How do I check NUC-approved courses at KSU?

Can I transfer to study Urban and Regional Planning elsewhere after starting at KSU?
Inter-university transfers in Nigeria are possible but bureaucratic, and typically require strong academic standing in the first year. A cleaner route is to apply directly to an institution that offers Urban and Regional Planning, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
