Do more than
you ever imagined.
Accelerator—Vanderbilt Summer Business Institute is an intensive immersion in business designed exclusively for undergraduates and recent grads in all majors. In four fast-paced weeks at the Owen Graduate School of Management some of the top young minds from around the globe are immersed in real-world consulting roles for companies, helping to solve issues in marketing, logistics, finance, operations and branding. Within a competitive team structure and with a "grab it and go" education from world-class Vanderbilt faculty, these students are challenged to deliver the best solutions possible for these businesses, and in doing do, shape their careers in ways that a traditional internship simply cannot come close to replicating.
Participating companies who launched projects during the 2008 program include: American Airlines, Bridgestone, Caterpillar Financial, Gresham, Smith & Partners, Griffin Technologies, Humana, Livescribe, William Morris Agency and Yum! Brands. These companies, and the others that have been involved with the program, propelled the students to learn business by doing business.
