VANDERBILT MB A

TAKE NOTE OF VANDERBILT.

REASONS TO TAKE NOTE OF VANDERBILT World-class faculty will know you by name.

We take business personally.

Their doors are open. At Vanderbilt, they are more than teachers.

They are career-long mentors and gateways to valuable opportunities.

We’re small.

On purpose.

Our focus is on knowing you as a person, not just as a student—your strengths, your needs, your aspirations.

We’re competitive, not cutthroat.

We know that business is a team effort—getting ahead doesn’t mean leaving others behind.

5

We measure up against anybody.

Ask corporate recruiters. Or talk to members of our worldwide alumni network about the value of their Vanderbilt MBAs when they competed for jobs.

For you, our selectivity means smaller class sizes and closer relationships with both peers and professors.

6

You won’t just learn business.

You’ll learn to lead.

Our distinctive Leadership Development Program builds C-level skills that correlate most highly with performance and promotion, skills that you won’t get from a typical MBA curriculum.

Put 9,506 coaches

and friends on your side We can’t claim our network of high-achieving alumni is bigger than those of many top business schools. Instead, we believe they’re something much better than big. They’re active members of the Vanderbilt Business community who will be personal, and personable, parts of your experience here. (Why? Because they benefitted from alumni engagement while they were students at Owen.)

Our alums routinely go out of their way to help students. They regularly coach MBA students in preparing for crucial interviews during their first year. They make introductions. Serve as mentors (and friends). And when students have questions, they’re just a phone call or email away, ready with answers and advice.

WE WANT TO WORK FOR YOU.

“The Vanderbilt MBA program helps its students to develop their leadership skills at a global level.

The school emphasizes leadership development through a wide range of programs, activities, ventures and workshops.”

“I’ve been fortunate to travel a lot during my MBA and have visited Jordan, Israel, Switzerland, Japan and Cuba. All of these experiences broadened my view of the world and in particular, my view of international business.”
