International Partners Program

Darden's Center for Global Initiatives (DCGI) designs and delivers International Partner Programs (IPPs) that bring students from partner institutions and educational leaders from around the world to Darden for a one- to two-week theme-based program, which includes courses taught by Darden faculty. Participants get to experience the Darden case method in the classroom and engage with the larger Darden community.

  • ​​​​​​The Center for Global Initiatives hosted Executive MBA and part-time MBA students from PAD School of Management in Lima, Peru for two programs in October. 
  • A group of over 20 MBA students from CEIBS in Shanghai visited Darden for a week-long program (including one day in D.C.) focused on entrepreneurship and innovation. 
  • Students from the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics visited Darden and Washington D.C. for a program focused on leadership and innovation. 
  • IAE is the Management and Business School of the Universidad Austral located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Last year IAE sent Executive MBA students to Darden for a one-week program to increase their knowledge in areas such as bargaining and negotiation, ethics and decision making. The group also traveled to Washington D.C. for company visits and class sessions.
  • The HWZ University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland, sent Master of Science and Executive MBA students on an IPP that centered around courses in marketing, general management and business ethics. The courses included case discussions and simulations, along with business visits to the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Brand Center, Profet and DuPont.
