Ajayi Crowther University Establish Centres For Distance Learning & Part Time Studies

The Ajayi Crowther niversity (ACU) has established a Distance
Learning Centre (DLC) and also a Centre for Part-time Studies.
The need for the creation of the DLC was predicated on the
imperative of expanding the frontiers of the university through
provision of formal education to numerous people who desire academic advancement but are
inhibited because of constraint of time. In the same vein, the creation of Centre for Part-
time Studies has been premised on the importance of broadening the horizon of the university by
means of running sandwich and conversion programmes.
Consequently, while Dr. O. F. Alabi, of the Department of Communication and Media Studies,
has been appointed as the Acting Director of the DLC, Dr. Omosolape Owoseni of the Department of
Business Administration has been appointed as the Acting Director of the Centre for Part-time Studies. The Centres have taken-off immediately.
Also in the spirit of fulfilling the mandate of the university, the University Management has re-
introduced Pre-Degree Programme and has also
restructured the existing Foundation Year Programme. Consequently, Dr. (Mrs.) E. Umoh of the Department of Earth Sciences has been appointed as the Acting
Director of the Centre.
