Partner colleges

"Wayne State was especially attractive to me because of its geographical location and outstanding diversity. It is important to me to be located in an area where I can be exposed to as many new people, places and ideas as possible. WSU's location and noted cultural diversity checked both of those boxes, and it has not disappointed!"
