Fisk University

Program Overview

The Fisk-Vanderbilt Master's to PhD Bridge Program exists to improve the demographic representation in the Science,Technology,Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Studies indicate that underrepresented minority (URM) students are more likely to use the master's degrees as a stepping stone to the PhD. Hence,to increase the number of URM students engaged in PhD-level STEM research,a relationship between Fisk University,which is an accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU),and Vanderbilt University was conceived.
