The Darden MBA Program

The Darden School of Business improves society by developing principled leaders for the world of practical affairs. Consistently ranked among the world’s best, Darden’s full-time, two-year MBA program is known for its top notch faculty, case study method, and commitment to ethics and honor.

In contrast to a lecture-based approach to education, Darden class time is spent discussing cases about actual business problems and solutions. Under the skillful direction of Darden faculty—ranked the #1 teaching faculty by the Princeton Review in 2007 and 2008—students are able to strengthen their communication and leadership skills by learning to make difficult decisions with limited information and significant uncertainty.

The program also involves a firm grounding in principled behavior. Long before the rise of corporate scandals, the Darden School taught the inextricable link between business and ethics. Here, students take on the challenge of integrating ethical thinking into critical business decision-making.
