Who are WSU's new students?
Wayne State University has three types of new students: high school graduates, transfers from community colleges, and transfers from other universities. In fall 2009, 87 percent of our students came from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. In addition, 25 percent of the new high school graduates were from Detroit. The bottom two tables reflect the new students who have transferred to Wayne State from community colleges and other universities.
