DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

Adeyemi College of Education was established in May 1964 with the Department of History as one of the pioneering Departments. The Department was among those upgraded to degree-awarding status by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1981.Since then, the Department has offered Bachelor of Arts in Education History under the supervision of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and has produced thousands of graduates. The Pre-NCE History programme was later introduced to further enlarge the scope of the discipline and allow more students to come in.
At present, the Department has eleven regular academic staff, two non-stipendiary members of staff and two Non-Academic staff – a secretary and an Executive Officer.
