Each year, the FT ranks the top business schools in the world. For those who care about such things, the FT rankings are a big deal.

While the usual suspects – Wharton, MIT Sloan, and so on – seem to always huddle near the top, several elite programs are not widely known outside the club. UVA Darden[1] is one of those sneaky good business schools.

According to the FT, Darden ranks:

  • No.1 public business school globally
  • No.4 in the world for overall student satisfaction
  • No.2 in MBA aims achieved
  • No.2 for its carbon footprint
  • No.4 in Alumni Satisfaction
  • No.16 globally overall

  1. Darden, and UVA more generally, is a wonderful place, and my alma mater. ↩︎
