    Your 4-Year College

    The key to our students’ successes is the full four-year experience that begins in year one and continues through access to internship opportunities that provide the finishing touch to degree programs designed to let our graduates enter the workforce confidently in charge of their lives and careers.

    The Wayne State experience includes an active campus life with more than 100 clubs and organizations, NCAA athletics, seven residence halls, and a variety of honorary societies designed to further cultivate professional frames of mind for our students.

    A Wayne State education extends far beyond the classroom with these significant opportunities for engagement.

    The advantages of Wayne State’s four-year experience also include study abroad opportunities in Greece, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Asia.

    • More than 130 programs of study

    As a four year institution, Wayne State provides students with an opportunity to start here as a freshman. And we have over 130 plus majors, it really gives students an opportunity to come here and really discover where they want to go and what they want to do. We have over 100 plus student organizations to get involved with. We're an NCAA Division II athletic program with 11 different sports for students to compete in. And what all that does for students is gives them the opportunity to apply what they're learning in the classroom and gain additional leadership skills that includes communication and time management that will serve them well throughout their lives.

    Our Career Services department works really closely with students to help them identify internship programs that allows them to really get an opportunity to see what it's like to be involved in that specific profession. And more importantly, it gives them a chance to network. We provide students with a quality, personalized educational experience that's affordable. 25% of our students graduate with no debt. And so we work really hard at creating that affordable package. It's not just affordable, we provide that personalized and quality educational experience along with that affordability.
