Darden is known for its close knit community and the case-based learning focus. Though all B-schools use the case study method, Darden students are likely to examine more than 500 business cases over the course of the two-year program. Darden's Global Business Experience (GBE) enables students to spend one to two weeks abroad through its exchange programs with 18 international institutions in cities ranging from Cairo to Barcelona. Additionally, 'Darden Business Projects' puts students on real world consulting projects with partner companies.
