Academics
The University of Virginia鈥檚 Darden School of Business promises the 鈥渦ltimate education experience,鈥 to be achieved through an active learning approach involving case studies, simulations and experiential activities; team-based collaboration; and core classes that teach fundamental business tools and concepts. The Full-Time MBA is available only in the traditional two-year format, with numerous study abroad opportunities and an academic drive that focuses on skill development rather than networking, though this merely means that 鈥渟tudents here are relaxed, but career-driven.鈥 Everyone at Darden 鈥渃ares deeply about the classroom learning,鈥 and faculty 鈥渃ould be approached during your time at school and [also] after graduation.鈥
Darden professors are 鈥渆xceptional,鈥 and 鈥渁ll the hype around it is true.鈥 They are 鈥渨izards鈥 who 鈥渙rchestrate case method classes like a true professional.鈥 鈥淚t takes a special kind of teaching talent to facilitate a case method discussion,鈥 agrees another student. They 鈥渋nitiate meetings with us and know us individually, share their networks with us,鈥 and take feedback from students to adjust their instruction. Additionally, 鈥渘ew professors bring recent trends into the classroom鈥 and motivate students. The administration is similarly adored for its capability, and students claim the school 鈥渞uns like butter.鈥 They ensure students 鈥渇ocus totally on our MBA,鈥 and the school 鈥渋s not afraid to try new initiatives and adapt quickly.鈥
