As the first top-ranked business school to publish their employment report for recent graduates in the Full-Time MBA Class of 2024, Darden is excited to share the latest data on career placements with a new interactive platform to engage with the data.
For prospective and admitted students at this stage in the application process who are still comparing programs, we recommend making sure that you are comparing information from identical years, so that the comparison is apples to apples (2024 vs. 2024) and not apples to oranges (2024 vs. 2023).

Quick Facts
In business school, a large portion of time outside of class is spent recruiting for internships (First Year) and post-graduation jobs (Second Year) if you would like to explore roles outside of your summer internship. The Employment Report concludes that 100% of students in the Class of 2024 completed a summer internship, and more than 90% of graduates seeking employment accepted a job offer three months after graduation.
For the past four years, Darden graduates have achieved a high median base salary of $175,000 and a $30,000 signing bonus. The highest industry concentrations are consulting (42.5%), financial services (26.5%) and technology (8.8%), and 96.4% of graduates are working primarily in the U.S.
