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 have committed projects for the 2008 program to date 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 will be involved this summer, will propel the students to learn business by doing business.
