Flexible Curriculum
The Evening MBA gives working professionals a flexible path to earning a Vanderbilt MBA while maintaining their career momentum. Students may take up to two courses at a time, with each class meeting just one evening per week. You’ll complete nearly all of your core coursework during your first year, establishing a strong foundation in the essential disciplines of business. From there, you can shape your experience through electives and progress on a timeline that works for you.
Immediate ROI
When you continue working while earning your MBA, the value of your education doesn’t have to wait until graduation. Bring challenges from work into the classroom. Take new frameworks, perspectives, and skills from the classroom back to work. As your capabilities grow, you'll have the opportunity to put them into practice in real time so you can continue building professional experience while investing in what comes next.
Admissions
The Evening MBA is designed for working professionals ready to invest in what’s next while continuing to build their careers. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree, be employed full time, and have at least two years of full-time work experience. Throughout the admissions process, we will take the time to get to know you and your unique goals. We're looking for motivated students ready to bring their perspective and ambition to our community and leave prepared to make an even greater impact.
With so many ambitious business professionals in the Nashville area, it was essential for Vanderbilt to create the Evening MBA program and provide another way to earn a graduate business degree. We’re really excited about the opportunities this program will open up for the community.
