Application
Applicants not previously enrolled at Wayne State University Graduate School are required to submit an "Application for Graduate Admission" form and official transcripts from each college or university (undergraduate and graduate) attended to the University Admissions Office. A transcript is considered official only if it is sent directly from the institution where the work was completed and bears an official seal. A $50.00 fee must accompany the application.
Students who have previously been accepted to the Graduate School should present their application directly to the Graduate Education Office, College of Education, Room 489. The fee is not required of these students. Students admitted initially to the Graduate School as "Special Students" or in different major must complete a "Change of Status" form in order for their application to be considered. This can also be accomplished by filling out the proper form in Room 489, College of Education.
All programs require an interview. Some programs require an autobiography or curriculum vitae, references, and a teaching certificate or professional license. Recommendation forms and the autobiographical cover sheet will be sent following review of the initial application and all transcripts. After the initial application and transcripts have been submitted a letter of response will be sent to the applicant listing any other specific items required for admission.
