Apply What You Learn
Accelerator students gain real-world experience that leads to real opportunities. Instead of working on case studies or simulations, you will work as consultants for actual companies to develop real-life business solutions.
Curriculum at a Glance
Accelerator® Summer Business Immersion is designed to help undergraduate students or recent grads learn business by doing business. In a little over 3 weeks, you will immerse yourself in the business world with 40 hours of fundamental coursework—from marketing and branding to operations and logistics—taught by world-class Vanderbilt faculty and successful practitioners. Then you’ll take that knowledge and put it to work on 3 consulting projects for real companies. It’s like gaining the experience of multiple business internships in less than a month.
You'll also benefit from personalized career coaching and leadership development so you can grow personally and professionally. The program includes career exploration, skill-building workshops, industry panels, resume development, and more.
