FOREWORD BY THE COLLEGE DEAN
The College of Business and Social Sciences was one of the two
Colleges the University started with in October 2005. The programmes
in the College were grouped under two Departments, Social Sciences
and Administration.
When the University started, there were only 156 students in all the
programmes in the College. This has increased to 915 during the current
session. At the beginning of 2009/2010 session, the programmes in the
College were arranged into four Departments. These are Economics,
Accounting and Finance; Management Studies; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology and Industrial Relations and
Personnel Management. Our Programmes are regularly updated to take
account of new innovations and developments in the various
disciplines.
The College currently runs B.Sc Degree programmes in Accounting;
Banking and Finance; Business Administration; Economics; Industrial
Relations and Personnel Management, Marketing; Political Science and
International Relations; and Sociology.
The College has now graduated three sets of students. Many of our
graduates are establishing themselves and are making waves in their
various chosen careers. Some are pursuing postgraduate programmes in
reputable Universities in Nigeria, Europe North America and South
America. We intend to run postgraduate programmes in some
disciplines as soon as the University enters into its second phase of the
development

COUNSELLING
Students counseling is an important activity of the Departments,
which is aimed at ensuring academic success for all the students.
Students are normally attached to a lecturer who is regarded as a
senior partner for the success of the students. The lecturer is
referred to as the Level Coordinator/Adviser. He/she is
responsible to the entire students for that level in each
department.
INFORMATION MEDIUM
Information meant for students are normally pasted on the notice
boards. It is the responsibility of students to go to these boards
regularly to ensure that they keep abreast of the happenings in
the Department and College as regards their programme in the
University. The Department and College would therefore not be
responsible for negligence on the part of the students for failing
to comply with any directives of the departments or its units
given through the medium of the notice boards.
Students Colloquium}

The University Management holds a ‘Students Colloquium’ at
least once every semester for both students and lecturers. This is
an interactive session that touches on all aspects of student life;
that is welfare, student behavior, dressing and attendance at
church services and other related activities. In addition, the
Parent Forum holds regular meetings at least twice in a session
to discuss matters related to the welfare of their wards the good
governance, and progress of the University at large.

HOD’S REMARKS
This is the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Department of Management
Studies, College of Business and Social Sciences, Crawford University.
The Department of Management Studies runs two programmes –
Business Administration Programme and Marketing programme. The
details of Business Administration are contained in this Handbook.
This edition covers a period of four years 2011- 2015. The courses
offered are in tune with current academic vision and development goals
of the University. We must note that the University Senate, however,
reserves the right to make changes to any part of this edition at anytime
it deems fit.
This handbook has carefully presented details of the academic
programme, the course structure, contents and credit loads. It provides
information on admission requirements, regulations, governing awards
of Degrees and regulations on conduct of examinations.
Both Lecturers and students will find the Handbook very useful from
time to time for guidance. Students are particularly urged to relate well
with their level advisers, supervisors, and Programme co-coordinator
for clarification on any aspect of the handbook that may not be clear to
them.
Finally, I wish to express my appreciation to all those who have
contributed to the success of the preparation of this second edition. I am
particularly grateful to the Dean, Programme coordinators and the entire
Academic and Non-academic staff of the Department. Any
