I can't speak for them (since I'm no longer a Vanderbilt student, incidentally having left to pursue a career writing ROR apps) but I would bet that they would be interested in some kind of Rails introduction. In the meantime, I would recommend watching the <a href="http://rubyonrails.com/screencasts" rel="nofollow">screencasts</a> and the book <i>Agile Web Development with Ruby on Rails</a>. And if you're very interested in databases, CS265 might be an interesting (though possibly challenging if you're not a CS major) course to take.
