Degree: Computer Science
The computer science graduate program, while boasting an impressive curriculum, falls dramatically short in a fundamental area: communication. Both the department and its professors seem to operate in silos, often leaving students adrift in a sea of unanswered emails and unaddressed concerns. This lack of responsiveness not only hampers the learning experience but also creates an environment where students feel undervalued and overlooked. I can not state how many times I have sent the same line of... Read More

I attended Vanderbilt as an undergraduate, studying English Literature and German Studies, along with a music minor. I was eager to return for their renowned Education programs at Peabody in order to become a licensed educator. I could not have been more disappointed. The rigor of my coursework was night and day compared to my undergraduate experience. My professors displayed a consistent lack of professionalism, and my courses consisted largely of non-primary resources as reading materials, while... Read More

Vanderbilt is the reason I am who I am today. With its plentiful resources, wonderful instruction, and generous faculty, I have grown considerably as a student, professional, and human being. I must be upfront about the difficulty. By no means is Vanderbilt an "Easy A" institution. However, students are pushed for good reason. Vanderbilt is a source of world class professionals in all disciplines. More importantly, Vanderbilt produces thinkers. By being exposed to new ideas, concepts, theories, and... Read More

Vanderbilt University offered the full package of things an undergraduate student wants. The academic discipline was challenging and the professors are world renowned. There are many already existing majors and the option to create your own dynamic major. The social life is un-matched with consistent access to SEC college sports games, Greek life, religious organizations, professional clubs and campus social activities. Moreover, the network once graduating is accessible, diverse and extremely helpful.... Read More

Great program that allowed a lot of hands-on experience in my specific areas of interest. Loved the professors as well as the surrounding community. The cost of tuition is very high, however.

The graduate education here is a joke. Graduate students are treated as the priority for neither faculty or the administration. Sometimes it makes folks who stay here wondering whether they still attend or work for an educational institution. Maybe it's more appropriate to change the name of Vanderbilt University into Vanderbilt-Zeppos Corporation. The graduate graduates here are victimized by toxic department politics between professors. It seemed the only thing mattered there is to learn how to... Read More

I had an amazing educational experience at Vanderbilt. My professors cared about me; the classes were wonderfully suited to my research interests; I had the freedom to pursue a specialization; and the city of Nashville was amazing. I would recommend the religious studies program to anyone!

Vanderbilt University is an incredibly rigorous, research based institution. The knowledge and experiences thus far will forever impact my future career in the field of special education and applied behavior analysis. The diverse experience of research, practicum and internships fill the gap from research to practice.

Vanderbilt University is an amazing school! While attending I was able to work with and learn from professors that are experts in their field and take part in their ground breaking research. I was provided with an intimate education experience that has laid the groundwork for the success of my career in education. The Special Education program is number one in the world and that is evident by the breadth of experience and knowledge that I gained while attaining my Masters degree. Vanderbilt University...

I've visited the campus a total of about 5 times during the interview process and immediately fell in love with not only the program, but also the city of Nashville in itself. Vanderbilt's reputation precedes itself, but what I appreciated most was how much the faculty, staff, and the entire Nashville community helped to make me feel safe and welcome. I am an African American male, born and raised in Indianapolis, IN. Moving to "The South" had always been a huge concern of mine, but I figured if... Read More

The Engineering Science degree within Vanderbilt's School of Engineering was a great choice for me! It was an incredibly flexible degree with a large opportunity to personalize my course load. I was able to take a huge variety of courses both within and outside of the Engineering department. The course requirements allowed me to focus on the project management and business side of the tech world. I was able to add a second major- Psychology- to my study, and with these two very distinct areas of... Read More

The MSN degree program at Vanderbilt University is definitely a rigorous and challenging experience, but you learn such a significant amount of information and are taught by some of the most incredible providers in the field. The program itself is fast-paced, but the leaders always make sure to take care of you and cater to your needs if you feel like you are struggling with anything. They give you plenty of resources that may suit your learning capabilities better. There is a lot of hands on teaching... Read More

Great school with diverse offerings to fit any personality. Heavily Greek oriented but felt like it brought students closer instead of dividing. Fantastic amenities, food options, course offerings (can design your own major), clubs and study abroad programs. I most enjoyed meeting students from different walks of life and from various countries. The bond you form at Vanderbilt will carry through life. Alumni are ALWAYS willing to help out their fellow Dores!

Vanderbilt University's Divinity School is a great institution. Overall, I was pleased with my experience there. I appreciated the access to renown scholars like Professors AJ L. and P.B. Currently, the divinity school has Dr. E.T. serving as the dean. I also appreciated the very wide alumni network that I now have access to. Vanderbilt offers a variety of rigorous curriculum and theologically challenging classes. I can honestly say that I learned a lot from my time there, both academically and socially;... Read More
