Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, Tenn., is a private research university and medical center offering a full-range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.
Vanderbilt fosters entrepreneurial spirit as fiercely as we defend classic disciplines. There's more rolling up your sleeves than popping your collar. Whether in class or overseas, students are as motivated by humanity's needs as by their own.
What's a 'Dore?
The mascot of Vanderbilt University is the Commodore, in honor of our founder, Cornelius Vanderbilt, who gave himself that title. The Commodores compete in the Southeastern Conference and field 15 men's and women's varsity teams. Go 'Dores!
