"Speaking for Tulane University and the Freeman School of
Business I am delighted that AACSB International accepted our proposal to
participate in the Bridge to Business postdoctoral program. I believe this is an
important step by AACSB and the participating schools, to address the business
faculty shortages that are prevalent globally. It will add significantly to the
set of scholars focusing their research on management problems.
At Tulane we have been involved in doctoral education in business
since the late 1980’s.For the past 13 years we have offered PhD development
programs for business school faculty at leading Latin American universities. Our
graduates have been successful as research scholars and academic leaders at many
important business schools around the world. The Bridge to Business program will
allow us to continue to serve the U.S. professional education market in this new
and innovative way, as well as expand our educational options for faculty in
Latin America.
Those interested in the Tulane Bridge to Business program may
learn more by visiting our webpage (http://aacsbpostdoc.tulane.edu)
or by contacting Professor Victor Cook, Faculty Advisor, Tulane AACSB Bridge to
Business Program (vcookj@tulane.edu)
