About Darden - Return to Darden Grounds

UVA Darden welcomed students, lifelong learners, faculty and staff back to its Grounds — in both Charlottesville and at UVA Darden DC Metro in Rosslyn, Virginia — in August when all degree programs started as planned. For non-degree Executive Education and Lifelong Learning programs, Darden is pleased to present an expanded virtual portfolio, as well as in-person programs.

Health and safety are top priorities this academic year. This website provides essential information for everyone to do their part to keep each other safe. The School is adapting operations for this new environment in line with industry best practices, and Darden is committed to providing a culture of mutual care and concern.
