Welcome...

to the Office of Graduate Admissions at Wayne State University. Our office:

• Receives and processes your application and supporting materials
• Determines your general eligibility for graduate study
• Provides your application and academic credentials to your intended academic program for their review and decision recommendation
• Communicates that decision to you, and assists you in your transition from applicant to enrolled student

Some university programs may have admissions criteria, deadlines or requirements that differ from the university minimum. You should always contact your desired program to ensure that you meet specific admission criteria and deadlines established by the program, and to find its specific admissions requirements.

The Office of Graduate Admissions does not process applications for the Doctor of Medicine (MD), Juris Doctor (JD), and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs. Persons interested in those programs should contact the School of Medicine, Law School, or Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences respectively.
