We are thrilled to share that Darden just launched the Future Year Scholars Program application for 2021-22!
Eligibility
Undergraduate Students: This deferred enrollment program offers undergraduate students who will graduate between 1 October 2021 and 30 September 2022 the opportunity to apply for admission to a future Darden Full-Time MBA class.
Master’s Degree Students: Students who are in their final year of a full-time master’s degree program who have not held a full-time work position between undergrad and the master’s program are also eligible to apply.

If admitted, Future Year Scholars will have the opportunity to complete between two and five years of professional experience before enrolling as part of a future Darden class.
