A Class Visit is a chance to interact 1:1 with a current student and observe a Full-Time MBA class. Your visit experience will include:
Being paired with a student host for the duration of the visit, so we are unable to accept any registrations within 48 hours of the class time. Shadowing the student host during class and observe the case method firsthand. Joining the Darden community for First Coffee at 9:30 a.m., a Darden tradition dating back to the School’s founding. To make the most of your visit, we suggest reaching out to student club leaders or student ambassadors ahead of your visit to schedule a coffee chat during First Coffee or after your class.
Class Visits are available throughout the academic year. Dates will be posted quarterly as the academic schedule is confirmed. Plan Your VisitDress Code
