The Ph.D. Pipeline Opportunity Program "Ph.D. Pipeline" is supported by a grant from the US Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education to assist under-represented minorities to qualify for and to acquire doctoral degrees in business disciplines. The PhD Pipeline Opportunity Program (P0P) is an innovative national collaboration of colleges and universities to help identify and mentor diverse undergraduate students to become business school faculty. The PhD Pipeline helps students *learn about the advantages of a career as a business school faculty member *understand the academic steps necessary to prepare for a career in higher education teaching and research *acquire a supportive network for curriculum preparation and success in applications to doctoral programs. The value of the PhD Pipeline Opportunity Program is increasingly demonstrated by substantial interest from varied students, individual faculty and institutional officials across the US and beyond.
