Community college path

We’re excited to support you in continuing your academic journey through our accredited engineering and computer science programs at Wayne State University (WSU). To ensure a smooth transition, it's essential that you complete the necessary courses. We highly recommend meeting with both your community college advisor and a College of Engineering advisor before enrolling. This will help make sure your courses transfer seamlessly and count toward your WSU degree.

Transfer guidance

For guidance throughout the transfer process:

• Visit the WSU Transfer Student Success Center website for answers to common questions.
• Take advantage of advising services available at WSU’s three satellite campuses:
  • Advanced Technology Education Center (ATEC)
  • University Center (Macomb)
  • Schoolcraft College

Course transfers and evaluations

WSU simplifies course transfers through:

• Detailed Transfer Plans: These help you fulfill general education and program requirements.
• Course Equivalency Guides: A comprehensive list of transfer equivalencies, organized by institution.

If a course isn’t listed on the equivalencies page, it must be evaluated by the Transfer Student Success Center before WSU will accept it for credit.

Engineering Technology Division (ET)

The Engineering Technology Division (ET) is part of WSU’s College of Engineering and has established Articulation Agreements with several community colleges. These agreements simplify the transfer process by ensuring that 60–90 credits from your community college coursework are accepted at WSU. By maximizing the number of transferable credits, they can help you complete your bachelor’s degree in just one to two years after transferring to WSU.

ET offers six specialized degree programs that are available through articulation agreements:

• Computer Technology
• Construction Management
• Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology
• Electromechanical Engineering Technology
• Mechanical Engineering Technology
• Welding and Metallurgical Engineering Technology

Scholarships for transfer students

WSU offers scholarships for transfer students who have graduated from high school and earned credits at another institution. To qualify:

• Submit your FAFSA before the deadline.
