  • Ready to dive in to conversations on infusing AI into curriculum or consider how play could be used as an intervention for more than just preschoolers? Attend a specially-organized class for prospective students with Peabody faculty to see what a discussion-based classroom experience at the master’s and doctoral level looks like in real time!

  • Through timed, rotating, small group conversations, meet multiple current Peabody master’s and Ed.D. students and learn about their experience both in and out of the classroom, relocating to and living in Nashville, participating in research and student employment, and balancing academic and personal life. Ask any and all of your questions – our current students are eager to share! 

We hope you'll register for Explore Peabody! Please note, that due to space limitations, we must cap the event at 75 students. Given this restriction, and in an effort to allow as many students as possible to visit campus, we kindly ask that prospective students not bring guests with them, as we will not be able to accommodate additional visitors. Should event registration max out, we will open a waitlist, and we ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend, so we may allow another student to make their travel plans. Registration closes Wednesday, November 5th at 11:59 p.m. CST.

After you register, we'll be in touch with more information, guides, and suggestions for your time in Music City. Please email peabody.admissions@vanderbilt.edu if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to hosting you on campus in person!

Can't visit us on November 7? No worries! We'd be glad to help you set up a personal visit, or you can join one of our online events. You can view all upcoming events and learn how to schedule a campus visit here.
