Our Story

As you consider what’s next in your career preparation, you might be wrestling with questions like these: “Where can I learn business fundamentals if I’m not majoring in business?” Or, “How can I get real-world experience while I’m still in college?” Or even, “What are the benefits of doing a summer business internship?” With Accelerator, you don’t have to choose between learning business fundamentals or gaining real-world experience. You get both in just 28 days. Vanderbilt’s Accelerator®—Summer Business Institute is a four-week certificate program for college students and recent graduates that combines classroom learning with real consulting projects. You’ll be taught business fundamentals by Vanderbilt’s world-class faculty, and then you’ll put that knowledge to work devising solutions to business challenges for companies like American Airlines, Coca-Cola, FedEx, Wrigley and Habitat for Humanity. Throughout the summer business program, you’ll also receive career coaching and leadership development to help you grow personally and professionally.
