The Graduate School manages many of the advanced degree programs of Vanderbilt University, a major research university located in Nashville, Tennessee.

History

[edit]

Since its founding in 1873, Vanderbilt has offered "work in the liberal arts and sciences beyond the baccalaureate degree",[3] and the university awarded its first graduate degrees (master's degrees in Greek, Latin, and English and a doctorate in chemistry) in 1879. The Graduate School now claims some 19,000 alumni.[4]
