The College of Science at Wayne State University consists of nine departments. Our PhD. program is the largest on campus and we rank second in student credit hours to the College of Liberal Arts and in second in external funding for research to the School of Medicine. We are committed to a quality and broad education at the undergraduate and graduate level and are active participants in many of the university’s nineteen centers and institutes.

The focus of the College of Science can be described by the following Mission Statement from our Strategic Plan:

"To make the College of Science at Wayne State University the outstanding school of science among this country’s public, urban universities by identifying and attracting high-quality students and faculty, by developing well-trained graduates, by encouraging and supporting teaching excellence at all levels, and by fostering research programs which are competitive with the nation’s finest public universities."

Students and faculty together are exploring, discovering and making vital contributions to the community through stimulating interdisciplinary courses and joint research projects. This rare blending of research and teaching gives students a well-rounded education, while providing faculty members with a range of options.

Your educational goals and aspirations are important to us!
