Detroit — Wayne State University’s Graduate School, one of the largest graduate and professional schools in the country, will host a series of open houses in July for students and working professionals interested in an advanced degree. The events will run from 3 to 7 p.m. on Tues., July 11, at the Oakland Center campus; on Wed., July 12, at the University Center-Macomb campus; and Thurs., July 13, at the Welcome Center on its main campus. Admissions representatives will be on hand to review applications at the event, and the $50 application fee will be waived for on-site participants.

"The Graduate School Open House will allow college graduates to talk with knowledgeable Graduate School counselors and program representatives and complete their application for admission during the event," says Dr. Hilary H. Ratner, dean of the Graduate School. “It’s a great opportunity for people who have considered a graduate degree for career advancement but have not had the opportunity to investigate a graduate program that fits their personal and professional needs.”

Applicants should bring their college transcripts as well as test scores from any entrance exams they may have taken. This will allow admissions representatives to fast-track the admissions process.

Wayne State University has 13,000 graduate and professional students who choose from more than 60 doctoral degree programs, 130 master’s degree programs and 30-plus certificate, specialist and professional programs.
