The University of Virginia Darden School of Business has been named the best public business school in Poets & Quants’ 2024–2025 ranking of full-time U.S. MBA programs — again. Retaining this position for the second year in a row, the School has climbed three spots to sit at No. 5 overall.

Education experience and the impact of our professors in the Full-Time MBA program were significant contributors to the ranking outcome. These two factors were highly weighted in Poets & Quants’ analysis.

At Darden, the story is always the faculty who are not only masters in the classroom but just as importantly deeply connect with students. Decades of MBA student surveys show again and again that the school can legitimately claim that it has the best MBA teaching faculty in the world.
