We are now evaluating applications for the UVA Darden Executive MBA program on a rolling basis. 


Candidates applying during this rolling period can expect to receive a decision within approximately two weeks of application submission. We currently plan to accept Executive MBA applications through 25 June, and candidates admitted during this rolling period should expect to have two to three weeks to finalize their decision.

Each round admits students to the class matriculating in August 2025, and we encourage you to apply when you feel your application is strongest.
