Brief History:
At the inception of the University in September 2007, the pioneer Department started as the Department of Geological and Chemical Sciences which offered B.Sc. degrees in Geology, Industrial Chemistry and Biochemistry. The Department started with six pioneer staff (3 academic and 3 technical) and 10 students in 2007. The Department of Geological and Chemical Sciences was unbundled in the year 2012 into two: the Department of Geological Sciences (for B.Sc. Geology) and the Department of Chemical Sciences. This same year, the Department of Chemical Sciences added B.Sc. Chemistry to its programmes. In March 2018, the Department of Chemical Sciences was further split into two: the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the Department of Biochemistry. The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC) has been successfully running its academic degree programmes without losing any accreditation by the National University Commission (NUC). Today, the Department has grown in student and staff population, as well as infrastructural strength. This development is the springboard and solid foundation for the kick-off of postgraduate programmes in 2019, which have successfully produced quite a number of M.Sc. and PhD graduates.

Brief History of the College
Osun State University included the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) programme in the academic brief that it submitted to the National Universities Commission (NUC) at the point of seeking approval for commencement of academic activities in 2006. The University scheduled the programme to commence during the first phase of its development. However, at the time the NUC granted the licence to establish the University, the moratorium that the Council of Legal Education, the regulatory body for the professional training of legal practitioners in Nigeria, placed on the establishment of new Law Faculties in Nigerian universities was still subsisting.
When the body lifted the moratorium in March 2009, the University contacted both the Council of Legal Education and the NUC seeking approval for the commencement of the programme. In anticipation of the approval, the University promptly put in place, the necessary facilities and manpower to mount a viable and appropriate law programme that would meet the needs of the society in the 21st century. The Council of Legal Education and NUC approved the programme in September, 2010. Consequently, the University admitted the first set of students into the LL.B programme in November of that year.
The College of Law has designed its programme to ensure that graduates of the programme have an excellent general knowledge of law, including a clear understanding of its place and importance in society. The programme has the intellectual goal of studying and assessing the contents, operation, efficacy and relevance of various rules of Law in the society as well as giving students the skill of critical analysis and appraisal of social, economic, political and other systems as well as issues of their society in the light of the global systems.

Yoruba Cultural Studies
Introduction
Yoruba is the largest ethnic language in Nigeria with over 25 million speakers. It is spoken, among other languages, in Nigeria, Benin, and Togo and traces of it are found among communities in Brazil, Sierra Leone, northern Ghana and Cuba. Currently, no university in Nigeria offers undergraduate courses in Yoruba beyond its literature and language components. As a College of Humanities and Culture, the degree programme in Yoruba Studies is to position us as a centre of excellence in cultural studies.
Philosophy and Objectives of the Degree Programme
a. To give the students an in-depth mastery of the history, philosophy, language, literature, culture and life patterns of the Yoruba people
b. To preserve the linguistic, literary and cultural heritage of the people
c. To offer the students the tools for the scientific study of language – the subject matter and goals of descriptive, comparative, historical and socio-linguistics and a deeper understanding of the nature of human language
d. To equip the students with skills for the analysis of history, philosophy, language, literature and cultural issues for the purpose of applying such skills to relevant fields of human endeavour.
Admission and Graduation Requirements
In addition to general admission and Faculty graduation requirements, usually five Senior Secondary School level credits or its equivalent, including English Language (for the 4-year programme) or higher qualifications, or a Diploma in any Arts or Social Science disciplines, in addition to the required credits (for the 3-year programme) are required to be qualified to run the programme. In addition to the above, credits earned at the SSS Level or its equivalent should be discreetly chosen from amongst subjects in the Arts, the Social Sciences and the Sciences. A credit pass in Yoruba language will be an added advantage.
The Faculty graduation requirements apply here. The entire degree programme lasts four years (eight semesters) for UME or three years (six semesters) for the “A” Level or Diploma students.
Career Opportunities
Yoruba Studies graduates are expected go on to positions within major culture industries, economic development agencies, tourism development bodies and local authorities. The graduate will be equipped for many positions in the wider service sector and for moving on to postgraduate research.

Welcome Address/Introduction
With the ever-increasing emphasis on ensuring that all undergraduates are given every opportunity to complete their education soundly and within the specified time limits in a fast-developing world, the College of Humanities and Culture, Osun State University, Ikire Campus, is at the forefront of producing high quality, well rounded, globally competitive and entrepreneurial graduates who are going to be catalysts for rapid and sustainable development in the age of globalization.
We are the custodians and projectors of things that illuminate our culture and the world around us. Through the humanities, students are made to understand human society clearly, behave more responsibly, comprehend more fully and feel more deeply. They also learn to express themselves effectively, understand the dynamism of cultural issues, appreciate the power of words and ideas, and interpret human experience.
The Ikire Campus is set within a picturesque piece of real estate surrounded by a natural topography designed for great intellectual work. It is the gateway campus of UNIOSUN, so strategically placed as to grant easy access to students and parents from any part of the country. Our College offers the most innovative curricula in which students are trained in a liberal and democratic manner to comprehend systems and patterns of existence, to think analytically and responsibly in order to be useful in any future task, and to embrace the complex challenges of the present world.
The humanities constitute the cornerstone of higher education in the world. In taking any of the courses we have mounted, students broaden their historical, ethical, social and international perspectives and enhance themselves intellectually and creatively for any job in the ever-expanding national and global markets.
