The Darden School of Business, founded in 1954, is the graduate business school associated with the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Darden School is (in the Dean's words) "high touch, high tone, high octane"[1]. It is named after Colgate Whitehead Darden, Jr., a former Democratic congressman, governor of Virginia, and president of the University of Virginia.
Darden offers a two-year MBA program that relies heavily on case-based teaching methods (see Case Study Analysis), similar to teaching methods used in many law schools and at Harvard Business School. Darden teaches solely through the case method, one of the few prominent schools to do so. The Darden case method relies heavily on strong preparation (done both on an individual basis and group basis) and deep discussions within Sections.
The school is known for its particular strength in General Management, and it is regularly ranked by Business Week, the Economist Intelligence Unit, Forbes, US News and World Report and other sources as a top business school in the world.
In 2002, Darden expanded the class size by 20% from 250 to over 300. Darden's Dean, as of December 1, 2008, is Robert Bruner, who is also the school's Distinguished Professor of Business Administration.
George David, 1967 Darden graduate and current CEO and Chairman of United Technologies Corporation, said of his time at the school, "My two years at Darden were the best ones of my life. The intensity was amazing, and the skills acquired life-long. I learned for the first time that classmates and I could push problems around with the sheer force of trying. I am profoundly grateful for this experience."[2]
Darden's top student award is the Samuel Forrest Hyde Memorial Fellowship, which is awarded by the faculty to the first-year student who has contributed the most to the welfare of the school and shows the greatest career promise. The 2009 recipient of the award is Kurt P. Miceli. Darden also awards the Frederick S. Morton Leadership Award to a second-year student in recognition of exceptional leadership. Vincent Harris is the most recent recipient.
Darden awards the C. Stewart Sheppard Distinguished Service Award to recognize first-year Darden students for exceptional service to the School. Darden faculty awards the William Michael Shermet Award to fifteen (top 5%) first-year students for exceptional academic performance and classroom contribution.
Darden also awards Frank E. Genovese Fellowships each year in recognition of academic performance and General Management.
Darden's Executive Education program continues to be ranked strongly by the The Financial Times including:

• Number 1 in the World in Open Program Executive Education 2007[3], Number 2 in 2008[4].
• Number 1 in Open Program Faculty[4] (for the 4th consecutive year[5]).
• Number 1 in Open Program Course Design[4](for 6th consecutive year[5]).

The program offers both open and custom programs. Executive Education programs include sustainability, service excellence, leading strategic change, and bargaining and negotiating.
The Darden School launched an MBA for Executives program in June 2006. The executive program takes 22 months.
