Fisk University provides
a rich academic experience steeped in the liberal arts tradition.
Their faculty and students exhibit a passion for learning and
personal growth. They are committed to ethical leadership and

Fisk is ranked
1st of moderately selective colleges when it comes to graduating
low-income students. U.S. News & World Report recently
moved Fisk to rank 118 and into tier one in its 2008 rankings
of 266 American liberal arts institutions.
The work of
Fisks founders was sponsored by the American Missionary Association
— later part of the United Church of Christ, with which
Fisk retains an affiliation today. Ogden, Cravath, and Smith,
along with others in their movement, shared a dream of an educational
institution that would be open to all, regardless of race, and
that would measure itself by the highest standards, not of Negro
education, but of American education at its best. Their dream
was incorporated as Fisk University on August 22, 1867.
