This paper examines the imperative and students' response to curriculum review of undergraduate Religion/Education programme in Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria. The study was a survey type and a fifteen (15) item questionnaire was designed to elicit response from the respondents. The population of the study comprised all the second (200 level), third (300 level) and fourth (400 level) year students' who offer Religion and Education numbering fifty (50). Five research questions were posed to guide the study. The findings revealed that out of seventy-one (71) courses offered, forty (40) were accepted as relevant, twenty-one (21) were marked to be merged and ten (10) were to be deleted from the curriculum to give room for the introduction of new ones. The implication therefore, is that the curriculum should be reviewed to reflect current societal needs and challenges.
