Transfer Policy

    This General Education Transfer Policy applies to students who transfer to Wayne State University from a Michigan community college with an Associate of Arts (A.A.), an Associate of Science (A.S.), an Associate of Baccalaureate Studies (ABS), or an Associate of Liberal Arts (A.L.A.).  It also includes students who transfer to Wayne State University from a Michigan community college with a MACRAO-stamped transcript but do not hold the associate degree.
    The schools and colleges at Wayne State have reviewed the policy and made determinations about how this policy will effect transfer students in their programs.  The following list specifies for students and advisors how this policy will be interpreted for each program and where a program will demand specific general education course work because of major/professional requirements.
    The transfer policy satisfies only the University General Education requirements which are represented on the following lists.  There may be additional courses and/or categories needed to satisfy the major and college requirements.
