Specializations

The Vanderbilt MBA offers multiple market-driven Concentrations, Specializations and Emphases to prepare you to succeed in your field. You’ll choose at least one Concentration or Specialization as the focus of your study, and may further customize your program with one or more additional disciplines of study.

If you don’t have your path mapped out, our Academic and Student Services directors are ready to help you put together a curriculum plan to meet your career goals.

Specializations are focused course tracks for students desiring an in-depth study of the functional area for their chosen career. Specializations typically require 20 credit hours of course work beyond the Core. The 20-credit-hour requirement represents the 12 credit hours earned in the related concentration plus an additional eight hours. The following specializations are offered:
