    CAMPUS SITUATION rmr m p l a n g r o u p The Nashville Connection. Belmont University is situated near Nashville’s midtown, within close proximity to the city’s cultural, academic, residential and commercial centers. While the university itself offers students a wide array of m outstanding learning and living resources, the campus’ convenient location extends opportunities for students to interact with a dynamic community and access additional quality resources and services. On the north edge of campus, the historic Belmont Mansion sits atop a hill overlooking the bustling traffic of Wedgewood Avenue, a major gateway to other Nashville activity centers. This avenue provides convenient access to: • Vanderbilt University , a respected private university with an enrollment of nearly 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students; • Vanderbilt Medical Center , a national leader in medical education, research, and patient care; • Music Row , the heart of the country music industry – a midtown collection of major recording label offices and recording studios, including Belmont’s own Ocean Way studios; • Historic residential districts , featuring an array of single- and multi-family homes in safe, friendly neighborhoods; • Hillsboro Village and the 21 st Avenue corridor , a vibrant retail, dining and entertainment district; and • Interstate 65 , a major pathway around, in and out of Nashville. Belmont Boulevard, which forms the west side of campus, also serves another important arterial function, connecting Belmont University to David Lipscomb University, a Christian faith-based liberal arts institution. Between these two growing institutions, students will find commercial resources, personal service providers and multi-family housing, all surrounded by revitalized residential neighborhoods and pedestrian and bicycle pathways.

Contact The Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Fisk University. Even before regional accreditation was available to African-American institutions, Fisk had gained recognition by leading universities throughout the nation and by such agencies as the Board of Regents of the State of New York, thereby enabling Fisk graduates' acceptance into graduate and professional schools. In 1930, Fisk became the first African-American institution to gain accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It was also the first African-American institution to be placed on the approved lists of the Association of American Universities (1933) and the American Association of University Women (1948). In 1953, Fisk received a charter for the first Phi Beta Kappa chapter on a predominantly black campus and also became the first private, black college accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. Fisk also holds memberships in the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.
