The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE), Benue State University is the department in charge of the administration of part time degree programmes. The management has published the list of current part time courses offered in BSUM.
Part-time students in Benue State University makes up a reasonable number of the total student population at the University. Part-time courses are studied over a longer period of time than their full-time equivalents. However, the programme requires that students spend fewer hours per week in a classroom – courses could involve day release, day plus evening, or evening only study. Information about these options can be found from the relevant faculty or course page.
Ideally, the general entry requirements are the same for full- and part-time students, although part-time application procedures and financial information differ from those for full-time students, that is, they are usually higher in terms of school fees amount.
BSUM part time application procedures vary from one department to another, and sometimes from faculty to faculty. Benue state university, Markurdi usually advertises for applications from candidates.

Oftentimes candidates seeking admission via part time confuse the full time courses for part time courses. They just assume that any course offered in BSUM undergraduate full time degree programme is equally offered under BSUM part time degree programmes but this is not always the case
Many UTME students that selected BSUM in their UTME now go for part time programmes after failing to gain admission via UTME and the good thing is that the certificate awarded to part time graduates does not state whether it was part time or full time degree programme so in the eyes of any employer, every certificate is given equal opportunity.
BSUM part time courses for this semester have been listed below, however, some courses offered in full time are not available in part time programmes mainly because of the time required to cover the scope of work involved. It is one reason part time programmes in BSUM and other schools qualified to run part time degree programmes both in undergraduate and postgraduate level requires at least an extra year more than the duration for full time degree programmes.
