[quote=Anonymous]Hilarious comments here. UVA is very unusual in that it has separate graduate (Darden) and undergraduate (McIntire) schools teaching business. It gets weirder because McIntire actually offers MS programs in accounting, IT, and commerce. McIntire is older than Darden. Darden was started in the late 50s/early 60s to provide MBA education. They recruited faculty from Harvard. Some called it “HBS (Harvard Business School) of the South.” The change to a three-year school is not designed to attract more students. McIntire has more applicants than it has spaces available. The move to a 3-year program is to benefit UVA/McIntire students, who are competing against students from three-year business schools, for very competitive internships that lead to post-graduation employment offers. The move to a three-year curriculum will level the playing field for McIntire students by providing curriculum and advising one year earlier. [/quote]
