The liberal arts tradition at Vanderbilt prepares students to think critically, to communicate effectively, to reason logically, and to understand issues from various perspectives.
This is a fundamentally different mission than those of professional schools that prepare a student for a specific career. Yet, many graduates are interested in professional careers, including management or finance. They often pursue those career interests through completion of a master of business administration MBA or other professional degree subsequent to their undergraduate degree. MBA programs expect students to have had several years of significant work experience after the baccalaureate, and majoring in a pre-professional major is not a requisite for admission to these programs.
The University offers fundamental undergraduate business courses taught by Owen Graduate School of Management faculty as well as elective courses in the liberal arts tradition to help students understand management functions, corporate strategy, and financial decisions.
Any undergraduate student may enroll in these courses. Coursework in business may direct students in their search for career interests and appropriate work experience after graduation.
Students are strongly encouraged to work with advisors in the undergraduate business minor program regarding curriculum choices and the Career Center to further develop their professional skills and career aspirations. Additionally, there are many student organizations—such as the Vanderbilt Finance Club, Vanderbilt Investment Club, and the Vanderbilt Innovation and Entrepreneurship Society—that offer students unique opportunities to gain professional experience.

Education and clinical training are preparing these professionals to assume such positions as Nurse-Midwife and Nurse Practitioner. Advanced practice nurses are offering and designing new ways of delivering cost-effective care and increasing access to qualified practitioners—often providing health care to underserved populations.
Advanced practice nurses work in collegial capacities with physicians and other health care providers, and are prepared to diagnose and treat patients with acute and chronic illnesses. These responsibilities require nursing professionals who are as smart and savvy as they are caring and compassionate. Vanderbilt School of Nursing prepares advanced practice nurses with an excellent education, real-world clinical experience and a solid grounding in theory, research and leadership.
