Real-World Applications

At Peabody, we know how it is to be an active learner and gain hands-on experience. Our online programs include real-world experiences that ensure you can apply what you learn to your career — whether your goal is to become a school counselor, organizational leader or education administrator.

On-Campus Immersions and Convenings

All students will have the opportunity to meet peers and Peabody faculty, work with the career services team and explore the Vanderbilt University campus. M.Ed. students will meet on-campus for two immersions and Ed.D. students will convene on-campus three times.

Internship Field Experiences

M.Ed. students will complete three terms of internships with the help of a field experience specialist who will ensure you are properly connected to a local school for hands-on training.

Capstone Project

Ed.D. students will complete a capstone project in their final year of study. Students will apply the analytical skills and contextual knowledge they have developed in the program to organizational challenges and problems of practice.

WeWork Access Worldwide

All students will receive WeWork memberships. WeWork is a network of community-oriented coworking spaces with hundreds of locations worldwide. As a Peabody Online student, you will be able to reserve study spaces, connect with fellow students and professionals, and benefit from a wealth of amenities like Wi-Fi, coffee, and on-site support.
