Because Vanderbilt cares about your health and safety, the University is one of hundreds of institutions nationwide taking a new approach to alcohol prevention.

The school asks every member of the first-year class to complete AlcoholEdu for College - a science-based course taken by tens of thousands of students each year. The course aims not to preach but rather to educate students about alcohol and its effects on the mind and body.

Whether or not they drink, AlcoholEdu for College empowers students to make well-informed decisions and better cope with the drinking behavior of peers.

What is AlcoholEdu for College?

AlcoholEdu for College offers a confidential, personalized experience for each student. The course includes:

  • 4 chapters of alcohol-related content
  • Case studies
  • Interactive exercises
  • Assessments of alcohol-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors

Be on the lookout!

You will receive a letter at home this July that will provide more details about this program, including how to access the course and deadline dates for completing it.
