Africa
Africa offers incredible promise and opportunity mixed with complex challenges. Collaboration with organizations such as Distance Education for Africa has allowed Darden to have an impact beyond traditional MBA degrees. Darden students regularly work with clients in Africa as part of Global Consulting Projects, learn about the nuances of public-private partnerships through the South Africa Global Immersion Course and examine health care and entrepreneurship in the Uganda Global Immersion Course.
