Educational Outreach is principally responsible for Wayne State University's off-campus offerings including online programs and courses. This division administers academic off-campus course offerings and programs for most Schools and Colleges of the University; the University Summer Session; and the partnership degree programs at University centers located on community college campuses. Educational Outreach staff coordinate relationships with community colleges partners and oversee transfer student recruitment and retention via the Transfer Student Success Center. 

The Division operates several instructional centers in the Detroit metropolitan area as well as in other selected locations in Michigan and delivers distance learning and online instructional programs. Through these outreach efforts, WSU is able to serve and meet the educational needs of a diverse student audience: working adults who are unable to pursue traditional on-campus programs of study; persons who desire courses of instruction at or near their place of employment; and others who are simply taking courses to enrich their educational background or improve their technical skills.

Dual Enrollment Cohort Programs

Educational Outreach coordinates dual enrollment cohort programs for eligible high school students in interested school districts. Dual enrollment cohort programs may be offered on site within the school district or at any of the Wayne State University campuses. For information regarding Dual Enrollment Cohort Programs, telephone: 313-577-1430.

Registration for Off-Campus Courses

Registration for off-campus academic courses is held during the regular registration periods for each semester. For specific registration information, telephone: 313-577-3541 or 313-577-4682.

Fees for credit classes are the regularly established fees of Wayne State University, which are published each semester in the University Schedule of Classes. All fees are subject to change at any time without notice by action of the Board of Governors of the University.

Non-Matriculant Advising 

Persons who wish to enroll in credit courses offered through this division and who have NOT been formally admitted to the University are registered as non-matriculated students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students are advised to consult the non-matriculant advisor as well as the specific degree program requirements cited in this bulletin, and are urged to process formal application and admission documents as soon as possible. Upon admission to a Wayne State school or college, credits earned in non-matriculant status may be applied toward degrees subject to the approval of the admitting school or college.

Admission Requirements

Most credit courses offered through Educational Outreach are open to all students who are qualified by virtue of meeting the prerequisites for individual courses or, in cases where there are no prerequisites, on the basis of their own assessment of their aptitudes. Those individuals who have been formally admitted to Wayne State University for a degree or certificate program, or post-baccalaureate study, and who are in good academic standing, will have course credits and grades earned through extension recorded on their transcripts in the same manner as credits earned on campus. Guest students should consult with their home institution when formulating their registration plans and submit an application for guest admission.

Programs Offered Through Educational Outreach

Educational Outreach offers entire curricula or selected courses applicable to many Wayne State University degrees and certificates at convenient times and places. Students should visit the Educational Outreach website for more details about complete degree programs offered at various extension centers.
