Dean's Welcome Statement
I have the distinct privilege of serving as Dean of the School of Natural Sciences, Business, and Mathematics at Fisk University for the past 8 years and it has been an exciting time, to see students grow in all realms of college and finding a true passion within the School of Natural Sciences, Business and Mathematics.
Academic Departments
Our academic disciplines allow you to specialize your focus to one area of interest. They are a part of your transition into higher education which involves being aware that each discipline is a distinct discourse community with specific vocabularies, styles, and modes of communication.
Life and Physical Sciences
Courses in this category focus on describing, explaining, and predicting natural phenomena using the scientific method. Courses involve the understanding of interactions among natural phenomena and the implications of scientific principles on the physical world and on human experiences.
Mathematics and Computer Science
Mathematics is one of the oldest scientific disciplines; computer science is one of the youngest. Yet both play broad and critical roles in our world today. At Fisk University, we offer robust undergraduate programs in both disciplines to form a supportive and welcoming community.
Business Administration
The Business Administration program serves students from a variety of backgrounds. A principle focus of the program is to prepare students for entry-level positions and for advancement in business including preparation for graduate business programs.

I selected Fisk because the first time I visited the campus, it felt like home. I enjoy both the family atmosphere and the rigorous academic programs. To prepare me for the future, my professors are ensuring that I leave Fisk with more than just a degree.
My professors are pushing us to be career-ready by presenting us with opportunities for internships and studying abroad, to gain the necessary skills and work experience for our future careers. Through these opportunities, my professors are ensuring that I will stand out as an applicant when applying to jobs and graduate school.
