BACKGROUND:
Fisk
is a private university providing undergraduate and graduate studies.
The goal of the institution is to offer a liberal education that
prepares students to be skilled, resourceful and imaginative in
addressing the challenges of life in a technological society, a
pluralistic nation, and a multicultural world. From its earliest days,
Fisk has played a leadership role in the education of African-Americans.
Fisk faculty and alumni have been among
America
's intellectual, artistic, and civic leaders in every generation since
the University's beginnings. Among them have been such figures as W.E.B.
Du Bois (Fisk class of 1888), the great social critic and co-founder of
the NAACP. Booker T. Washington — the great educator who was Du Bois'
famous philosophical adversary as well as the founder of
Tuskegee
University
HEALTH
RELATED DEGREE PROGRAMS
Fisk
offers the following health related academic programs: pharmacy,
nursing, medical technology, and pre-professional.
OTHER
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Other
academic programs include business, humanities, natural science,
mathematics, and social sciences.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
Fisk
has received a grant from the Kellogg Foundation for “Building on
Excellence in the Sciences.” This program encompasses new
laboratories, library collections, and network connectivity, building
renovation and teaching personnel. Curriculum
improvements cover computer science, physics and biology (with a new
course in medical physics and a laboratory). Among currently practicing
black physicians, lawyers, and dentists, one in six is a Fisk graduate.
In proportion to its size, Fisk continues to contribute more alumni to
the ranks of doctorally prepared African-American scholars than any
institution, black or white, in the
United States
. Experiments developed in Fisk's physics laboratories have orbited the
earth in the space shuttle. The University's Molecular Spectroscopy
Research Laboratory is internationally recognized. Fisk faculty members
— even while emphasizing teaching above all other priorities — carry
out funded research projects to a degree excelled by no college or
university of comparable size. In
1930, Fisk became the first African-American institution to gain
accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It
was also the first such institution to be placed on the approved lists
of the Association of American Universities (1933) and the American
Association of University Women (1948).
COOPERATIVE
EDUCATION
Fisk
has a cooperative education program.
In addition, it offers an Oak Ridge Semester Program in
conjunction with the national energy laboratory at
Oak Ridge
,
TN
, which is supervised by the Physics Department.
