First Class

An Evening With the Vanderbilt MBA in New York City

An Invitation-Only Dinner

There are some things you can learn about Vanderbilt from a website. The things that matter most are harder to put on a page.

The conversations that challenge your thinking. The people who open doors. The relationships that continue long after you leave Vanderbilt Business. And the moments that change where you thought your career was headed.

First Class is an invitation to experience that side of Vanderbilt.

An Evening Designed for Conversation

The Setting

Tucked inside New York City, Metro Private Cinema gives First Class a setting intentionally different from the typical admissions event.

A private dining experience. A room small enough for conversations that don't end when the program does.

The People

You'll spend the evening alongside Vanderbilt MBA alumni, admissions leaders, and a select group of people considering what might come next in their careers.

Ask the questions you actually want answered. Hear the stories that don't fit neatly into an admissions presentation. And get to know the people behind the Vanderbilt network.

The Experience

For one evening, consider this your first class at Vanderbilt Business.

There are no lectures or presentations. Instead, dinner becomes the classroom. It’s a first taste of what returning to business school can feel like: new ideas, different perspectives, and conversations that stay with you long after class ends.
