The Darden Graduate School of Business Administration owes its existence to the energy and interest of a group of bankers and business people from Virginia and neighboring states, who formed a Sponsoring Committee to assist in the organization of a graduate school of business administration.
By 1954, the Sponsoring Committee had established an endowment, and the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia appropriated additional funds. Meanwhile, a faculty committee of the University recommended that the school be established, and on March 19, 1954, the University Senate voted a like recommendation. On April 9, the Board of Visitors adopted the following resolution:
“Resolved by the Board of Visitors of the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that a graduate School of Business Administration be and it is hereby created as a separate School of the University.”
Since 1955, the school has grown in size, in the scope of its curriculum, and in the geographical diversity of its influence. As the reputation of the school continues to broaden, it maintains a balance in its commitment to Virginia and the South, as well as to the national and international business communities.
On July 1, 1974, it became The Colgate Darden Graduate School of Business Administration of the University of Virginia. Colgate Whitehead Darden, Jr., preeminent statesperson and educator from the State of Virginia, was Governor of Virginia from 1942 through 1946 and served as President of the University of Virginia from 1947 until 1959.
Mr. Darden was one of the prime forces in the creation of a graduate business school at the University of Virginia and remained an active supporter of the school through its development.
The school is proud to bear the name of this remarkable man.

Facilities
The Darden School The Darden Graduate School of Business Administration is located on the North Grounds, about a mile from the central University Grounds, as part of a graduate-professional complex that also includes the Law School and the Judge Advocate General’s School. Darden’s Goodwin Grounds include the Abbott Center, Saunders Hall, the Camp Library and student services building, twin office and classroom buildings, a parking garage, and the Sponsors Executive Residence Center and gatehouse, used extensively for executive education. The Sponsors Executive Residence Center offers 180 private bedrooms, as well as additional classrooms, meeting rooms, a fitness center and recreation rooms.
Computer Facilities The Darden School has a state-of-the-art technology infrastructure. All classrooms have power and network access for each student seat and are equipped with large screen projection systems. Students are required to purchase a laptop computer when they enter Darden. A walk-up service desk is located next to the classrooms for students to work directly with technicians.
Access to the network is accomplished through both traditional wired connections and wireless access points. Students have the capability to connect from virtually anywhere on Darden Grounds including the classrooms, computing labs, library, and café. Free VPN capability is also available for remote users.
The school provides interactive access to many databases and information services, such as Dow Jones News Retrieval, Bloomberg, DRI, and Compustat. Students can access the school’s e-mail system remotely for electronic mail and course related materials. The school’s portal, myDarden, provides easy access to information systems that support all aspects of student life, including course pre-registration and add-drop, career services, announcements, curriculum resources and a community calendar.
Darden is host to a full-sized, professionally equipped video production studio designed to facilitate faculty pedagogical aims through digital video and audio, both internally for classroom instruction and externally as marketed case-study video and multimedia products. Video content is produced and acquired at Darden or “in-the-field” as the project dictates. Material gathered can then be assigned to Darden’s in-house digital editing facility to be professionally edited and encoded to one of many digital formats, including Web-accessible streaming and audio/video podcasting, for further processing and distribution as necessary. The Abbott Center Auditorium can also serve as a video production facility with multiple broadcast-grade video cameras and audio systems designed to capture large-scale student, faculty, or UVa community educational and social presentations. Professional-quality, high-bandwidth video and audio conferencing can be facilitated to and from the studio, Abbott Center Auditorium, or any of 18 electronically connected classrooms. Supported student services include video conferencing, available throughout the Darden academic building and in the Career Services area to support student projects and interviews, digital video editing, with equipment available to Darden students in the Library, and video acquisition/still camera equipment available for checkout in the Classroom Support area. A host of support staff is on hand to help with any classroom or video related project or question.
Darden’s Student Information Systems is comprised of Admissions, Career Services, Class Registration, and Alumni Services. These four software modules were developed and written in-house by the administrative staff and the Darden Solutions technology department. These systems have proven so successful that seventeen top-tier business and professional schools have licensed one or more of these systems for their own use.
Information technology is highly integrated into the Darden curriculum. First year students make heavy use of the spreadsheet, word processing, data analysis, and presentation graphics software installed on their notebook computers. Use of computers in both the first and second years is designed to provide an understanding of the role of information technology in information-gathering and decision-making contexts.
Library The Camp Business Library of the Darden School is a research library that provides vital support to students in their course work, classroom preparation, research projects, and career search. The library has a current collection of materials that are focused on business and the social sciences. It contains basic reference works, a broad selection of business and public affairs periodicals, selected government documents, and statistical resources, as well as access to over 150 electronic databases. The collection includes unique subscriptions to 600 business journals and electronic access to thousands of journals through library databases. The collection includes 125,000 volumes and 300,000 items in microform collection. The library staff is headed by a professional librarian and a reference librarian who are both members of the Darden faculty. The librarians and library staff are available to assist students with the development of research strategies and the use of information services that are available at the Darden library and other UVa libraries.

The Darden School Foundation
The supportive relationship between the school and the Darden School Foundation began with the initiative of those southern business leaders who, under the guidance of former University President Colgate W. Darden, Jr., secured the initial endowment funds necessary to found the school in the early 1950s.
Today, the role of the foundation continues as a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation that manages current endowment funds for the exclusive benefit of the Darden School, operates the school’s prominent executive education programs, and promotes the support of the school by alumni, friends, and corporations. An elected Board of Trustees, all of them Darden alumni, manage the Foundation’s affairs and give freely of their time and advice, providing an important link between the academic and business communities.
Funds provided annually to the school contribute to all phases of life at Darden. The Darden School’s rapid rise to prominence on the strength of both its MBA and Executive Education programs is, in large part, due to the initial and continuing generosity of the many alumni, friends, and corporations who comprise the Darden School Foundation membership.

The Darden School Alumni
Darden recognizes that its greatest strength lies in the success and involvement of its alumni. Since the first class graduated in 1957, Darden has relied on its alumni to assist the School in a variety of ways. Today Darden has more than 8,000 alumni from the MBA program, and is renowned for the strength of its alumni network.
The continuing interests of Darden alumni in the affairs and governance of the School and with fellow alumni and students is fostered by the Darden Alumni Association, which is managed by the Office of Alumni Relations and the Alumni Board. The board is the leadership body of the Alumni Council—all volunteers for the school—including chapter leaders, class agents, class secretaries and others who serve on committees for student recruitment, career development, corporate relations, and fundraising. There are 38 alumni chapters worldwide.
Alumni activities are organized by region in the U.S. and abroad. Volunteers in each region plan events for alumni, prospective students, and friends of Darden, with support from the Alumni Relations Office. Darden faculty travel to alumni events, presenting current research and discussing business topics relevant to their work. Darden also organizes two major alumni events each year: Alumni Reunion Weekend is held in April, followed by Alumni Leadership Training Weekend in the fall.
The Alumni Office also works with the other University of Virginia Alumni Association and the university’s other graduate school alumni associations.

The subcommittee shall accept nominations through two processes. In late April, the chair shall make an open invitation for written nominations from the faculty, staff, and first-year students. In addition, at the end of the spring semester each first-year section faculty member may nominate up to two candidates.
Over the summer, the subcommittee shall gather data and opinions from faculty, staff, and students in the Darden Community and deliberate on the candidates. The subcommittee shall propose its nominee to the FYPC in the first week of the fall semester. The FYPC shall vote on the final Hyde nominee using its procedures and voting rules.

C. Stewart Sheppard Distinguished Service Award An honorary award established by the Darden School Foundation to recognize Darden students for exceptional service to the School or the University of Virginia of a nonacademic nature. Service is interpreted broadly to mean all activities that benefit the School or any of its constituencies, other than those activities that occur in the classroom during regularly scheduled classes. Award recipients are generally members of the graduating class. Recipients of the award are determined by the C. Steward Sheppard Distinguished Service Award Committee, appointed by the Associate Dean for M.B.A. Education.
The committee shall include two students, three faculty members (including the chair of the First-Year Program Committee and the chair of the MBA Advisory Committee), and the director of Student Affairs, who shall serve as chair. On behalf of the committee, during the spring semester the chair shall solicit nominations (in the form of a letter) from Darden students, faculty, and staff.
The nomination letter shall contain evidence to support the nominee’s qualifications for the award. All Darden students who are in good academic standing at the end of the spring semester (i.e., not under the jurisdiction of the Academic Standards Committee) are eligible to receive the award. Selection of the recipients shall be based on the data provided to the committee by Darden students, faculty, and staff. In the case of second-year students who received the award as first-year students, the second-year nominations shall be based on second-year activities only.
The number of awards given each year shall be determined by the committee. The award shall be presented to second-year recipients at the School’s annual graduation ceremony. The award shall be presented to first-year recipients (rising second years) at the time the Hyde and Shermet awards are announced (the beginning of the fall semester). The names of the C. Stewart Sheppard Distinguished Service Award recipients shall be included in the Darden School Final Exercises program (at the time of each recipient’s graduation).
William Michael Shermet Award
Each year the faculty shall give the William Michael Shermet Award to the student or students who have demonstrated academic excellence in the first-year program and who, by their determination and constructive attitude and service, have provided an example of responsible competitive spirit for their classmates.
Current administrative practice is as follows: At the end of the spring semester, each first-year section faculty shall meet to submit their nominations for the Shermet award. Each first-year section faculty shall designate a maximum of two “automatic” Shermet recipients and a maximum of two “pool” candidates from their spring section. The first-year teaching faculty shall collectively designate a maximum of five Shermet recipients from the pool of up to ten candidates created by the first-year section faculty, without regard to spring-section origin.
This process shall produce a maximum of fifteen Shermet awards. A maximum of ten of the recipients shall be spring-section-specific; five may be chosen from the at-large pool. A given spring section could thus have a maximum of four or a minimum of two award recipients. The final selection of the award recipients shall be made by the First-Year Program Committee at a meeting to be held after the submission of all first-year final grades.
The awards shall be announced to the Darden Community as soon as practicable after the beginning of the fall semester. Prior to this general announcement, the names of award recipients shall be communicated to the Darden faculty confidentially. The names of the award recipients, and the award citation, shall be included in the Darden School Final Exercises program.
G. Robert Strauss Marketing Award This award is presented annually by the Marketing faculty to a student who, in his or her first year, has demonstrated (1) innovative thinking, (2) the ability to develop unique solutions to realworld problems, (3) flair and charisma in presenting ideas, (4) provocative insight when challenging classmates’ viewpoints, (5) compassion for fellow students, (6) solid skills at case analysis, and (7) a requisite understanding of basic marketing concepts. The ideal candidate will exhibit the attributes of team spirit and a willingness to help other classmates, suggesting a wellbalanced approach to the Darden experience.
Current administrative practice is as follows: Toward the end of the academic year, the Marketing faculty will accept nominations from both students and faculty. Each nomination must be presented as a one-page note citing the nominee, the nominator, and a brief paragraph explaining why the nominator believes that the nominee deserves the award. The Marketing faculty will then select three or four of the nominees to compete for the award. Should a selected student decline to participate, no replacement will be chosen.
The selected students will each be given the same case, chosen by the Marketing faculty, and will be required to make a 30-minute oral presentation to a judging panel of three or five Marketing professors. The presentations will be open to students, faculty, and alumni, and may also be videotaped for later viewing by students, faculty, and alumni.
The judges will rate each student, on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), on how well the presentation meets the nominating criteria. After all the students have made their presentations, the scores will be totaled. The student with the highest score will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by a majority vote of the judging panel.
The winner will be announced by the Dean at coffee on the first day of second-year classes. The winner will receive a small cup or plaque, will have his or her name engraved on the Strauss Cup (which will be kept at the Darden School), and will receive a check for half of the income earned on the Strauss Cup fund from the previous year.

Application Candidates are encouraged to visit the Darden admissions website to obtain detailed information on admissions procedures and requirements, apply on-line or request a viewbook. Candidates can also schedule class visits and learn of upcoming events and activities.
The Darden School seeks to admit people whose academic ability, leadership potential and experience and personal qualities indicate that they can contribute to, and benefit from, the program. All applicants are considered without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, political affiliation, disability, age, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
The application requires completion of three essays, transcripts of all academic work, and two letters of recommendation. All applicants are required to take the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT), unless applying for a joint degree program. Applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency and should submit a score from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Offers of admission require an interview which is an integral part of the evaluation process. Candidates are encouraged to visit the school, attend a class, and meet with current students. Visits are scheduled between September and March when classes are in session.
Financial Assistance
The Darden Graduate School of Business Administration’s financial aid program assists students in meeting the cost of earning an M.B.A. through a combination of school-based scholarships, grants, and third-party loans, in addition to federal loans. No financial assistance will be offered in the form of employment, and students should not plan to work during the school year. Loans, need-based grants, and scholarships are used to complement each other, and, in the administration of the school’s program, consideration is given to differences in need arising because of differences in tuition applicable to Virginians and non-Virginians, and other factors.
The Darden School awards scholarship, need-based grant and loan assistance to students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. A limited number of merit-based scholarships are offered to international students.
U.S. citizens or permanent residents seeking any type of financial aid through the University must file a statement of financial resources. The Office of Financial Aid requires that applicants use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The applicant must complete all student portions of this form.
The required FAFSA and University financial aid forms can be obtained via the Darden web site at http://darden.edu/financialaid.
Financial aid decisions are made, and admitted students notified of awards, beginning in March. In order to receive timely award notification, applicants who wish to be considered for loan assistance should apply by May 1.
Applicants will not be considered for financial assistance until they have been admitted to the Darden School and submitted other required documents. The admissions decision is made without regard to an applicant’s financial situation.
Grants and Scholarships
At some point throughout the two year program nearly 45 percent of all Darden students receive merit scholarship or need-based grant assistance from the school in amounts ranging from $2,500 to full tuition and stipend. The school awards its limited grant funds on a need basis. The sources of scholarship and grant aid are the unrestricted funds of the school, gifts and bequests, and special contributions from business concerns and persons interested in encouraging business education and supporting the Darden School.
A Darden Financial Aid Application is required and should be submitted by May 1.

Joint Degree Programs
Objective Joint-degree programs are offered by the Darden School in connection with other schools and departments at the University of Virginia. For women and men who show high promise to act with determination, judgment, and integrity in increasingly responsible positions of leadership in the world of practical affairs, these programs are designed to enhance the educational experience beyond that which could be achieved if the two degrees were taken independently. Each joint-degree program is a unique program with significant and identifiable synergies that the two degrees taken independently would not offer. The Joint-Degree Programs are only available in combination with the Full-Time Program.
Admissions For all joint degree programs, except M.B.A./Ph.D., students first must be admitted to the Darden School and the appropriate University graduate school or department through the normal admission processes. Admission to both programs should be simultaneous or occur during the student’s first year at Darden. (See Section III for admission requirements for the M.B.A./Ph.D. program)
Once the student is admitted to both programs, the student must be accepted for the joint degree program by the joint degree program’s program committee. Admission to a joint degree program should be prior to matriculation or no later than during the student’s first year at Darden.
Curriculum Requirements Students in joint programs must complete the Darden first year program and 22.5 credits of electives (instead of the normal 30 credits). Other curriculum requirements are noted in the individual joint program descriptions.
Receipt of the M.B.A. degree is contingent upon receipt of the respective non-M.B.A. degree. In the joint M.B.A./Ph.D. program, however, the faculty will award the M.B.A. degree to a student who has completed all requirements for the regular M.B.A. program.
Grading Standards Candidates for joint degrees must satisfy the grading standards of the appropriate school or department granting the non-M.B.A. In Darden courses, a student who has received a grade of F in two or more courses or has accumulated 6.5 or more B- course equivalent units or received a single grade of F and has accumulated 4.5 or more B- course equivalent units shall be notified by the Academic Standards Committee, acting on behalf of the faculty, that h/she is dismissed from the MBA Program and will not be recommended for the MBA degree.
Transfer to a Single-Degree Program At any point in the program, the student will be allowed to terminate plans for a joint degree and to continue toward a single degree at either school or department. The student will then be obligated to satisfy the normal requirements of the appropriate program, which may include credit for some of the work done in the other program, as determined by the appropriate officials of the school or department in question.

Students of the University are subject to two sets of regulations, those of the University as a whole and those of the respective schools. Listed below are rules that apply within the Darden School. Appropriate excerpts from the University regulations are set forth in the next section.
Performance in the School
In addition to (1) following the University standards of conduct, (2) abiding by the obligations of the Honor System, and (3) meeting the standards of the Darden School for scholastic achievement, a Darden School student is expected to (4) perform in a manner that is consistent with the academic good order and educational processes of both the individual courses and the Darden School in general. This latter requirement is important in a learning experience that encourages responsible competition and cooperation. Disruption of the learning experience can degrive others of the educational benefits for which they came to the Darden School.
The faculty has provided a process for the review of the conduct of a student whose behavior is disruptive of the administrative and academic good order or educational process of other students, of individual courses or the Darden School in general.
Proceedings brought before the Honor Committee or the Judiciary Committee of the University or the Academic Standards Committee of the Darden School and falling solely within their single or collective jurisdiction shall take precedence over action under this review procedure.
The procedure supplements but does not abrogate an instructor’s rights and responsibilities for maintaining an effective and orderly learning atmosphere in class.
The process, in brief, provides for the establishment of an ad hoc committee of inquiry, which may include a student member, to hear the issue and, on behalf of the faculty, impose the penalty, if any, that it considers appropriate, up to and including enforced withdrawal from the Darden School.
The committee’s decision may be appealed to the school’s faculty.
Attendance Policy
Darden students are expected to attend class in order to contribute as well as learn. Each course must have a written attendance policy that describes the consequences of missed classes. The course policy must be distributed to students before the end of the first week of classes. Whenever students miss class, they should, out of courtesy, inform their instructor as to the circumstances, in advance if possible.
Grading System
The following letter symbols are used: A, B+, B, B-, F; lowest no-penalty passing grade: B-.
Credit/No Credit Grades Darden students may not take courses on CR/NC basis.
Auditing Courses M.B.A. students and students enrolled in other schools of the University may audit elective courses with the permission of the instructor.
Withdrawals
The dean’s office may ask a student at any time to withdraw from a particular course or from the school because of unsatisfactory academic work or for other adequate reasons.
Course Descriptions
Note: The most current course descriptions are available online at http://www.darden.virginia.edu/.
900-Level Courses
The Darden School offers, on a selected basis, courses approved by the faculty that are pertinent to the students enrolled in its doctoral program. Courses differ each term, depending on the doctoral students in residence and their fields of concentration. Doctoral students, and other students for whom these offerings might be appropriate, should contact the director of the doctoral program for current course descriptions at (434) 924-7247.
