Fisk 双学位课程

Fisk University has a amazing history working with some of the countries fellow elite universities to help further our student education. Fisk currently has dual degree programs with Case Western Reserve University and 范德比尔特大学 focusing on the Pre-Professional programs.

The Fisk/Vanderbilt Dual Degree program allows a student to earn both a Bachelor's Degree from Fisk with a science major (Biology, 化学, Math and 计算机科学 and Physics) plus Bachelor's Degree from 范德比尔特大学 生物医学工程, 化学工程, 土木工程, 计算机工程, 计算机科学, 电气工程 or 机械工程. 这是一个为期五年的项目, with the first three years spent in residence at Fisk and the last two years spent living on the Vanderbilt campus.

In order to qualify for the program, students must begin taking Vanderbilt 工程 courses while still at Fisk (no later than the first semester of the junior year) and do well enough in these courses plus their Fisk coursework to qualify for admission to Vanderbilt. This requires special attention to the sequence of courses taken at Fisk, so contact with the Fisk Dual Degree advisor should be made as soon as possible.

Information about Vanderbilt 工程 programs can be found at the Vanderbilt 工程学院 website.

The Program is a "three + two" Dual Degree Program between Fisk University and Case Western Reserve University, leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biology, 化学, 计算机科学, 数学 and Physics from Fisk and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from Case. Dual Degree Students can major in the following disciplines at Case Western Reserve University 工程学院:

The student will be informed of the specific science, mathematics and computer science courses that he/she must complete at Fisk before he/she can transfer to 范德比尔特大学. These courses may vary depending upon the student's major. The program is designed for the student to take all of his or her courses at Fisk during the freshman year. The student should normally cross register to take one to three hours at Vanderbilt each semester of the sophomore year. It is necessary before cross-registering to apply for admission to the Dual Degree Program. The student should cross register to take four to eight hours at Vanderbilt during each semester of the junior year. The courses taken must be those specified in the curricula that have been approved for each dual degree program.

By January 15 of the second semester of the junior year, the student should fill out the proper papers to transfer to 范德比尔特大学. The student will have all of his or her financial affairs handled by Vanderbilt. 这意味着:

The student should have his/her FAFSA information form and PROFILE data sent to Vanderbilt.

The student has to have a Fisk University transcript sent to 范德比尔特大学.

Once this has been done and if the student has a 3.5 GPA or higher at Fisk and Vanderbilt, both overall and in math and science, the Vanderbilt Dual Degree Coordinator will recommend to the V.U. 招生 Office the admission of the student and Vanderbilt will provide the student with information on his/her housing contract.

The student will be responsible for making sure that each university has all the required information on them in order to graduate. The most important requirement is that the student must transfer his/her Vanderbilt transcript to Fisk the last semester before graduation. This is necessary so that Fisk can substitute major courses taken at Vanderbilt for the rest of the program electives and cognates needed to meet the graduation requirements from Fisk.
