About the AACSB Bridge Program

The Post-Doctoral Bridge Program is designed to develop academically qualified faculty to teach in an AACSB accredited institution. By completing a Post-Doctoral Bridge to Business Program a non-business scholar becomes significantly more competitive when applying for faculty positions at AACSB-accredited business schools.

The University of Toledo’s Post-Doctoral Bridge program offers modules on current research in Technology Management, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management along with Marketing, Sales and CRM and Manufacturing disciplines. In our program, we stress the cross functional nature of manufacturing and businesses and our students receive training to be able to teach and do research in areas including:

• Supply Chain Management
• Operations Management
• Technology Management
• Marketing, Sales and CRM Technologies
