Requirements for admission and graduation

Wright State University is located off of US 675 in Greene County, Fairborn, Ohio, only a few miles northeast of Dayton and southwest of Springfield. US 675 has quick access to Interstates 75 and 70.

You'll find a "user friendly" campus, with all main campus academic buildings connected by underground walkways that are easily accessible to individuals with physical disabilities. The underground walkway system means you don't have to walk outside during inclement weather.
