Joint Pre-Med Program
Fisk offers a joint program with nearby Meharry Medical College, permitting the Fisk student who is admitted to the joint program as a freshman to enter Meharry as a candidate for a medical (M.D.), dental (D.D.S.), or research (Ph.D.) degree after three years of undergraduate study, supplemented with summer research experiences at Meharry. Admission to Meharry can be assured in advance for those students who apply to the joint program as Fisk freshmen and who perform satisfactorily in their Fisk studies and on the Medical College Admission Test.

Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine Program
Fisk University and Meharry Medical College have a partnership designed to increase the number of African-American physicians.
