While eligibility requirements vary somewhat for each participating program, all applicants must have received doctoral degrees from an institution recognized for producing successful scholars in that discipline. This training must have been received outside of a business school. Where applicable, the program from which the applicant graduated should normally be recognized by the appropriate specialized accreditation agency for that field. In all cases applicants must show excellent preparation for conducting scholarly research and teaching in a field related to the business discipline for which they are applying. 

By design, completing a Post-Doctoral Bridge to Business Program will make non-business scholars more competitive when applying for faculty positions at AACSB-accredited schools. AACSB’s endorsement of these programs means program graduates hired by an AACSB school will receive the same initial qualification status as do graduates of a business doctoral program.

For more information about each of these programs, please contact the schools directly.
