Executive Education - Registration & FAQ

Acceptance into Executive Education & Lifelong Learning is based on the distinct requirements for each program. For program-specific details, see the Participant section on each program page.

There are no formal educational requirements for executive education programs; however, admission to our open enrollment programs is selective in order to ensure a robust cohort of participants. Darden Executive Education strives to create a rich learning environment, and participants for each program are selected to represent a broad range of backgrounds: industries, geographic locations, organizational size, and professional responsibilities are considered. We reserve the right to deny entrance to our open enrollment programs to any registrant that does not meet the above criteria.

While global participation is encouraged, proficiency in written English is required in order to fully participate in coursework and engage in fast paced classroom discussion.

The Executive Program has additional application requirements. Please see program page for application details.
 

Our participants report that they learn and sustain change better when attending a Darden program with others from their organizations. We support team learning with the following pricing schedule:

• Single registrant: published price

Tuition reductions apply to registrations received at the same time from an organization for the same program. The tuition reduction must be requested with registration.

Multiple tuition reductions cannot be combined for one participant. We will gladly accept the greater reduction.
