<p>I read in the 2008 Fiske Guide to Universities that Vanderbilt has a 3:2 accelerated MBA program that is similar to those of Wharton, MIT, and Virginia. However, I can't find anything on the Vanderbilt website or the Owen School of Management website either. Does anyone know the answer to this question? Thanks!</p>
<p>Look on the newest undergrad catalog! Just read it yesterday and I’ll be applying as well! BTW is more like a 4:1 Program!</p>
<p>i went to the vanderbilt under website and cant find it in the catalog. can you help me find it or highlight the section that pertains to this thread?</p>

Joint Five-Year Baccalaureate–M.B.A. Program. By combining one and
one-half years of study in the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Man-
agement with three and one-half years in Vanderbilt’s College of Arts and
Science, students may obtain both the baccalaureate degree and the
M.B.A. degree in five years —the baccalaureate from the College of Arts
and Science at the end of the fourth year under the senior-in-absentia pro-
gram, and the M.B.A. from the Owen School after the fifth.
Students may major in any subject in the College of Arts and Science.
Students must apply to the Owen School for admission to the five-year
program during their junior year and to the Administrative Committee
for acceptance into the senior-in-absentia program. Students are subject to
normal Owen School admission requirements, and no student is assured
of admission to the Owen School. Students who are accepted will be reg-
istered in the Owen School for three semesters (a minimum of 48 hours).
Up to 16 hours of Owen School courses approved by the College of Arts
and Science may be counted toward completion of the undergraduate
degree. Upon acceptance to the Owen School, students should contact the
Office of Student Services for an advising appointment. The Owen School
registrar will review undergraduate courses and arrange for transfer of
those credits toward the student’s M.B.A. degree.</p>
<p>I have a friend whose D tried to get accepted to Owen twice. It is quite selective and they strongly favor admitting students with work experience. I’m not expert, but I think you would have to be a truly exceptional undergrad to be accepted into this program. That said, there’s a fairly large pool of exceptional students at Vanderbilt.</p>
