Admissions options
What happens if you don't meet the regular admission requirements? Well, you've got options. Find your path at Wayne State through one of our special admissions programs. Contact individual departments for admissions requirements and more information.
Chicano-Boricua Studies (CBS) is one of the oldest academic programs for Latino studies in the Midwest.
Division of Community Education (DCE) is for recent high school graduates and mature adults. Special advisers provide tutoring, academic advising and general information to students in the program.
APEX programs provide educational opportunities to first-generation and low-income metro-Detroit students who demonstrate academic potential.
WayneDirect is a partnership among several community colleges and Wayne State that offers academic resources and campus experiences to students who intend to transfer to Wayne State.
Nonmatriculant status gives you the opportunity to take classes at the undergraduate or graduate level if you do not want to enroll in a degree-seeking program. You are responsible for all tuition and fees associated with your classes. Contact the nonmatriculant adviser at (313) 577-4693 for more information.
The visitor program gives you the opportunity to take classes for personal enrichment, not for credit. As a visitor student, you are responsible for half of the freshman tuition rate and half of the registration fee. Contact the Office of Metropolitan Programs and Summer Sessions at (313) 577-4665 for more information.
