Capstone Team Composition

Put everything you learn to work. A Capstone Project—one of the hallmarks of Vanderbilt’s program—brings together everything from your experience. As part of your Capstone team, you’ll apply all the management concepts and tools you’ve learned to a significant, strategic business initiative for a health care organization— most commonly your own. Our students (and their sponsoring organizations) find this real-world, Capstone learning experience to be an investment that pays both immediate and long-term dividends.
