Admission requirements

At Wayne State, we know that students come from different backgrounds and experiences, which are things that make our students so great! That's why we look at each individual applicant as that - an individual. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will review your grade-point average, ACT or SAT score and any other supporting documentation you provide us or we request from you.

Do you have a GED?

If you have a GED, you must have scored a minimum of 410 on each test with an average of 450 overall and have a minimum ACT composite of 21 or SAT total of 990.

Alternate admission pathways

Some students will require the assistance provided by special admission programs to take full advantage of the opportunities at Wayne State.

Students with international academic credentials

Do you have academic credentials from outside of the U.S. (i.e. have you taken any classes in another country)? If you do, make sure you also review our English proficiency requirements. You'll have to meet these requirements as well as admission requirements to be a Wayne State student.
