team-oriented, very people-oriented environment. It’s a service industry, so what the firm has to offer its clients is its people.”

Your success is our business. Whatever program you choose, we—meaning our faculty, our staff, our alumni—are focused on helping you to achieve your professional goals and make the critical connections that lead to jobs. That’s our promise. And our history.

Vanderbilt isn’t just world-class. It’s distinctive.We do business a little differently than most schools. We think that makes a big difference for our students.

We take business personally. Our focus is on knowing you as a person, not just a student: your strengths, your needs, your aspirations.

We welcome poets, quants and historians. What we look for most in students is not your undergraduate major but the qualities that reliably predict success. Like strong academic performance (including GMAT or GRE scores), aptitude for problem-solving, solid communication and interpersonal skills and a keen work ethic.

We’re small. On purpose. For you, our selectivity means smaller class sizes and closer relationships with peers. It also means you’ll learn from world-class faculty who’ll know you by name—and who become mentors and gateways to invaluable opportunities.
