Maymester 2013 Maymester at FISK represents an innovative opportunity for students and faculty to engage in a scholarly discourse applying critical thinking to traditional course offerings within the rich Fisk curriculum. The curriculum offers the opportunity to explore resources that are typically not fully accessible during the traditional academic year. Students and faculty will engage in a blended course format which includes engagement activities within the broader Nashville community. Students will submit an application and participate in an interview to determine their interests and motivation for this academic experience. Students who are independent thinkers and possess good organizational skills with a strong academic background are likely candidates for success in the Maymester at FISK. All students must register and prepay their Maymester bill in full by April 12, 2013. Tuition is $770 per semester hour.
