Looking for Another Degree or Discipline?

If you are pursuing a specific discipline that is not offered by the Graduate School, your program may be housed within a Vanderbilt professional school that grants their degrees independently (i.e. M.Ed. from the Peabody College of Education and Human Development). For these programs, the student takes classes solely at the professional school and receives their degree from them instead of the Graduate School.
