Business studies refer to a discipline area that consists of classes such as finance, marketing, leadership, and money management. Classes may be taken as part of a particular degree or to prepare students for a business career.

To gain admission into the Nigerian universities (both public and private universities are in every state of the federation including the FCT), a prospective student has to sit for and successfully pass the UME(Universities Matriculation Examination) which is administered by JAMB (Joint Admission and Matriculation Board). Also individual universities regularly screen prospective candidates to make sure they are up to par for university level work in Nigeria.
