Elected Studies: Elected Studies Home

A guide to help you research and locate Elected Studies materials at Fisk and beyond!

Welcome!

Welcome Elected Studies majors! This LibGuide is built to help Fisk students and faculty members find information and resources for elected studies. The "Elected Studies" major option is available, in addition to the prescribed major fields, so that students may propose an individually designed major not regularly offered at Fisk. This option is intended for students who have clearly developed educational aims and find the usual range of available major fields inappropriate to those aims. Such students may propose individually designed majors by submitting, at least four semesters prior to the anticipated graduation date, a proposal to their faculty academic advisors.
