Ivy Tech, Fisk University To Sign Transfer Student Agreement

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A historically black university in Tennessee has agreed to offer transfer opportunities for eligible Ivy Tech Community College students in Indiana.

Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, made the announcement Thursday. Fisk will guarantee admission to Ivy Tech students who meet certain criteria, such as a 2.5 GPA. Fisk also will waive application fees. Ivy Tech students will be admitted as upper-division students at Fisk as long as they have grades of C or better in course requirements.
