Peabody College
Peabody offers a flexible summer schedule that is designed to meet the needs of full-time students as well as part-time students seeking an enriched summer program. Courses for undergraduates are offered during May Session and the first- and second-half summer sessions. Courses for graduate/professional students are offered during Module One and/or Module Two (four weeks each), and on various weekends.
Admission
Prospective students seeking admission to a professional program at Peabody should apply online by going to http://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/ at least six weeks prior to the anticipated enrollment date. There is no application fee if students apply online.
A non-degree-seeking applicant who holds a bachelor's degree and who wishes to enroll in professional courses at Peabody should apply online at least one week prior to the anticipated enrollment date. A student cannot gain admission and register on the same day.
