EMBA Faculty

ALL WORLD-CLASS BUSINESS SCHOOLS HAVE GREAT PROFESSORS. OURS WILL KNOW YOU BY NAME.

Our faculty are renowned as researchers, scholars, practitioners, and teachers. But what sets them apart from other top business school faculty is their friendliness, helpfulness, and down-to-earth accessibility. When you have questions or need guidance, their doors are always open.

Those close relationships don’t end when you leave here. Even years after graduation, it’s not uncommon for our Executive MBA alumni to call professors for advice.

One thing students consistently tell us they love most about Vanderbilt Business is the opportunity to build long-term relationships with faculty—how many top B-schools can say that?

That’s just how we do business. Once you’re here, you’re part of the Vanderbilt family.
