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.

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.
