Who are WSU's new undergraduate students?
Wayne State University has several types of new students: mostly first-time undergraduates, transfers from community colleges and transfers from other universities. In fall 2010, 85 percent of our new undergraduate students came from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. In addition, 18 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.
