Vanderbilt University
Cornelius Vanderbilt had a vision of a place that would "contribute to strengthening the ties that should exist between all sections of our common country" when he gave $1 million to create a university in 1873. Today, that vision has been realized in Vanderbilt, an internationally recognized research university in Nashville, Tenn., with strong partnerships among its 10 schools, neighboring institutions and the community.Vanderbilt offers undergraduate programs in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education and human development, as well as a full range of graduate and professional degrees. The combination of cutting edge research, liberal arts, nationally recognized schools of business and divinity and a distinguished medical center creates an invigorating atmosphere where students tailor their education to meet their goals and researchers collaborate to solve complex questions affecting our health, culture and society.Vanderbilt provides a gateway to greatness, drawing the best and brightest students from across the nation and around the world. Vanderbilt alumni can be found in Congress, on the judicial bench, in the pulpit, heading corporations, conducting innovative medical research, writing for and appearing on the stage and screen, and playing in the NFL and major league baseball.An independent, privately supported university, Vanderbilt is the largest private employer in Middle Tennessee and the second largest private employer based in the state.

Yes, science and math are important, but any selective graduate or undergraduate school will want to see well-rounded strengths.

That being said, feel free to contact department faculty for specific questions about how you should prepare. Moreover, we evaluate everything in the context of what is available at the high school. As for the minor, you might look into the International track of Human and Organizational Development (http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/human_and_organizational_development/hod_undergraduate_program/hod_track_summaries/international_leadership_and_development_track.xml) or the World Politics minor, which has an international concentration.
