EMBA - Global Study
Global Study
At Darden, we believe all business is global. The Darden School connects with over 80 countries each year through a variety of avenues, and all students are expected to have a global experience during their time at Darden.
All Business is Global
Executive MBA (EMBA) students participate in one global residency; Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) students participate in four global residencies. Current residency locations (subject to change) include Australia, Argentina, Chile, Finland/Estonia, Ghana, Germany, India, Israel, Morocco, Spain, South Korea, and Vietnam.
Global residencies are weeklong experiences delivered across four distinct travel periods. Typically, 2-3 global residencies are offered per travel period, with students having the option to participate in one trip per period.
The global residencies are designed to be immersive, and programming includes a mix of company visits, talks with industry leaders, meetings with executives, cultural excursions and more.

Number of Global Residencies
EMBA students participate in one weeklong global residency, with the option of adding additional residencies. Please note, there is an additional charge for each additional global residency.
GEMBA students participate in four global residencies, with additional opportunities for global travel in the form of Global Consulting Projects, which are open to all executive format students. These courses are also available at an additional charge.
To learn more about the costs and cost differences between options, please visit the Cost of Attendance section of our website.
In the summer prior to the start of the school year, incoming students are sent a survey in which they indicate their global residency preferences. Assignments are determined by the Executive MBA Program Office. The Program Office confirms all global residency assignments during Leadership Residency 1.
