Aim Higher

Students on a campus tour

Wayne State University is more than a cluster of buildings where people earn degrees. Since 1868 it has been a university where opportunity is realized, whether one is taking the first step toward a degree or redefining the frontiers of human knowledge. It is a university of aspiration, where students and faculty consistently aim for higher levels of excellence and achievement. And it is a university of engagement, where students learn from the real world and are prepared not just for graduation but also for life.
