Welcome to the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management

Since 1970, more than 7,000 people with different priorities, differing interests, and divergent needs have discovered the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management. And from this place, they have shaped their skills, their thinking, their careers, their organizations, their industries, and their world.

Vanderbilt is a close-knit business community that opens doors to a world of possibilities. This is a place that, besides equipping you with tools for leadership, empowers you to exert a shaping influence on your own learning (and on the school itself). It challenges you to go beyond old boundaries and get involved with others in something bigger than yourself. Perhaps that’s why Vanderbilt has long attracted students who are known for being self-starters, team players, challenge embracers, problem solvers, global thinkers, and down-to-earth colleagues who value a degree based on practical experience more than a mere pedigree.

This kind of environment is frankly not for everyone. But for almost every prospective student who takes the time to visit here, this is the school they come to call home.
