Transfer Credit Resources
• Transfer Equivalency Self-Service: This tool displays how your earned credits will transfer into specific Wayne
State degree programs. This tool provides an unofficial degree audit that indicates how your transfer credit is
applied and which courses are still required to complete the degree.
• Transfer Pathways: The transfer pathways are agreements with Michigan community colleges that streamline
the transfer credit process while providing a roadmap to earning your associate and bachelor’s degrees.
• Transfer Course Equivalency: This tool allows you to research specific courses and how they transfer to Wayne
State.
• Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA): The MTA can be earned at any Michigan community college to satisfy the
Wayne State general education requirements. Each community college has an MTA-approved course list of its
own, so please refer to the list of courses that your respective community college has approved for MTA.
Understanding Transfer Credit
• What will transfer? All college-level classes from regionally accredited colleges with a grade of 2.0 (C) or above
will transfer. There are no specific limits to the number of transfer credits. However, each academic program has
specific requirements that must be satisfied which helps determine the best number of credits to transfer.
• How will it transfer? Courses transfer as the number of credits earned at the college where you took the class.
This is true regardless of the number of credits the Wayne State equivalent course is worth. Each transferred
course will match one of the following types of credits:
o Equivalent credit – matches a specific WSU course.
o Department credit – transfer into the academic department without a specific WSU course match.
o Elective credits – transfer as general or elective credit (GEN 1XXX or GEN 2XXX).
Transfer Admissions Requirements
To transfer to Wayne State, you must have at least 24 transferable credits of previous college work and a minimum 2.5
cumulative GPA from all higher education institutions you have attended. If you have completed an associate degree,
you may be admitted with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Visit wayne.edu/apply to complete the university
application.
