Welcome to Nashville

Home to Vanderbilt University and the capital of Tennessee, Nashville offers attractive internships in business, health care, government, entertainment and education. A vibrant, progressive and modern city, Nashville has been dubbed the "Athens of the South" and "Music City, USA."

A large city with a small-town feel, Nashville has its advantages in the summer including thriving music and entertainment scenes, arts festivals in Centennial Park, hiking in Warner Park and performances at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC). Students have the additional advantage of local community connections and networking opportunities.

Student interns in Nashville will attend a weekly class at Vanderbilt and will find the city as accessible as ever via the MTA bus system.
