The Program:
MBA for Executives
Darden’s MBA for Executives students receive the same degree as the full-time students receive: an MBA from the University of Virginia. Throughout the 21-month program, we maintain Darden’s highly regarded integrated curriculum which helps executive MBA students develop a broader, ‘enterprise’ perspective, which makes you a stronger leader.
Our on-grounds residencies take advantage of students coming together in a case-method classroom to discuss, challenge and arrive at decisions addressing complex global business problems.
Darden’s educational process (individual preparation, learning team meeting, classroom discussion, and reflection) is unique among executive MBA programs and takes advantage of the strength of our teaching faculty, as well as the competitive managers who make up our cohort.
Since each candidate in the program is living his or her own ‘case’ every day at work, you often find yourself using what you learn immediately – applying concepts and ideas from class to your current professional situation.
By learning in real time, you witness your own evolution from a good manager to a great leader. We deliver an outstanding learning experience that strengthens your current professional performance and lays the groundwork for lifelong success.
