DONATE DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS Home » Fisk Academics » Dual Degree Programs FISK DUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS 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 Vanderbilt University 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, Chemistry, Math and Computer Science and Physics) plus Bachelor's Degree from Vanderbilt University in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. This is a five year program, 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 engineering 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 engineering programs can be found at the Vanderbilt School of Engineering 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, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics 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 School of Engineering: Aerospace Engineering Biomedical Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Macromolecular Science and Engineering Materials Science and Engineering Mechanical Engineering Engineering Physics Systems and Control Engineering Information about the Case Western Reserve programs can be found at the Case Western Reserve dual-degree website. VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY APPLICATION PROCESS In October or November of the fall of their third year, students should make a formal application to the Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions as a special case (three-two students) of the transfer application process. Before initiating the application process, the student should make sure that the 3-2 liaisons in the home school and at Vanderbilt (Senior Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, School of Engineering, Cynthia B. Paschal, PhD., AIMBE Fellow) can certify them as having met the requirements of our dual-degree contract (B average, proper pre-engineering courses, and the recommendation of the home institution). The home school liaison should communicate his/her recommendation to Dean Paschal and to the Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Contact with VU Undergraduate Admissions should be made through Director of Admissions John O. Gaines ( john.o.gaines@vanderbilt.edu ). Please make sure the Vanderbilt admissions office understands you are a 3-2 transfer applicant. Application for need-based financial aid, if appropriate, should be made as part of the application process through Admissions. Merit (honor) aid is not available. Admissions will initiate arrangements with our immigration officers (if appropriate) and housing (if needed). We cannot guarantee housing for transfer students, but we can help them. REQUIREMENTS AFTER ADMISSIONS CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY APPLICATION PROCESS Application to Case is made through Case's Office of Undergraduate Admission. The application process can be reviewed on-line through the Undergraduate Admissions home page, http://admission.case.edu/. Acceptance into the Program and Case shall be at the sole discretion of Case and the student's application does not guarantee acceptance. Acceptance to the Program prior to the end of a student's third year at Fisk shall be conditional, with formal admission contingent upon the student's final grade point average and academic requirements at the end of the third year meeting the Program requirements. Students must provide Case with an official transcript, as soon as it becomes available, prior to a final decision being made at Case. Final acceptance into the Program is contingent upon Case's issuance of a written statement confirming said acceptance. Each student shall be responsible for paying the tuition and fees to the institution in which he or she is enrolled during the time enrolled and for complying with all of the policies and procedures of such institution.
