Darden measures success by the success of our graduates. Here, students
prepare not only to excel in their careers, but to initiate change and make
a mark on the business world. After Darden, our graduates are prepared to
create, transform and lead great organizations. Darden graduates are
consistently praised for their ability to identify the most important
business issues, provide analytically sound responses to those issues, and
work effectively with teams and dynamic organizations to reach solutions.
Each student receives a well-rounded and comprehensive general management
education. The Darden School consistently ranks among the best MBA programs
in the world. Classes are taught using the case method, which requires an
intense level of student participation. Every day, students discuss
real-world business issues and analyze the successes and failures of
managers in organizations around the world. This approach requires students
to confront problems head-on and to draw on their own experiences — as well
as the input and perspectives of classmates — to make thoughtful and
informed decisions. The Darden faculty consists of more than 80 scholars
distinguished by a wide range of business and academic experience. Most have
taught or worked outside the United States. Faculty exchange programs ensure
that Darden's professors remain in tune with current global business issues
and practices. Darden's Career Development Center provides career counseling
and job-search training, and serves as a liaison between students and
organizations seeking MBAs for internships or full-time positions. Hundreds
of U.S. and international firms representing every major industry maintain
active recruiting relationships with Darden and travel to the School each
year to interview Darden talent.
