The University of Virginia Darden School of Business came out on top for the second consecutive year in the Princeton Review ranking of 244 MBA programs across the country.

In the 2024 edition of “Best Business Schools,” Darden received its highest marks to date, including being No. 1 for Best Professors and Best Campus Environment, No. 2 in Management and Consulting, and No. 3 in Finance.

With 10 top-10 rankings this year, Darden has earned more top-10 Princeton Review rankings than any other graduate business school in the country in the past two years. Rankings were created based on surveys of 21,500 students and institutional information.

“These results are an outcome of, and a tribute to, Darden’s unparalleled culture, mission focus and unwavering commitment to excellence, as well as the collective impact of our incredible faculty, staff, students and alumni,” Darden Dean Scott C. Beardsley said.

Darden will welcome a record number of first-year MBA students in August.
