High paying professorships overlooked by college grads
One of the best kept secrets in the U.S.
job market today comcs with a starting
salary ranging from $40,000 to $50,000
and a virtual guarantee of multiple offers
for every qualified prospect.
The job site is in almost any collegiate
school of business; the title is professor.
And if your field is economics, statistics,
computer science, accounting, mathema
tics, psychology, sociology, political
science, industrial engineering, physics or
business administration, there are, right
novs'. hundreds of business school deans
hoping you will read on.
“Faculty positions are so plentiful that
there are almost four openings for every
doctoral student who graduates,’* said Jack
R. Wentworth, dean of the school of
business at Indiana University.
Business schools' popularity has put a
strain on their capacity to supply enough
doctoral-level faculty to teach all of the
bachelor’s- and master’s-level students.
The result is that many b-schools are being
forced to limit enrollments, and students
are being denied access to the school of
their choice because of a critical shortage
of faculty to fill the prestigious, high-
paying professorships.
The American Assembly of Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB), the profes
sional organization and sole acci^iting
agency for collegiate schools of business in
the United States, is putting out the word to
prospective business doctoral students:
There is a future in academia, and there is
also financial aid to help pay the way. The
aid comes through the National Doctoral
Fellowship Program in Business and Man
agement. launched last year in a joint
effort by AACSB, the Graduate Manage
ment Admission Council (GMAC), 80
business schools and a group of cor
porations, including The John Hancock

Companies and Enron Corp., and other
organizations, such as Beta Gamma
Sigma, the national scholastic honor
society in business and management. To
gether, they are providing close to 100
first-year fellowships, each worth $ 10,000
and a tuition waiver, toquallfying U.S. and
Canadian students. Combined with fund
ing put forth by panicipating institutions to
support fellowsiiip recipients in subsequent
years of study, the direct investment of the
business school community itself will ap
proximate $8 million over the first three
years of the progarm.
Distributing the fellowships begins with
attracting high-caliber students into busi
ness doctoral studies, a job that Wentworth
called '"the most challenging ever faced by
business schools.'’
Part of the challenge is overturning the
common misconceptions, such as every
Ph.D. winds up driving a taxi; or an MBA is
a prerequisite for doctoral study in busi
ness; or faculty salaries are not attractive.
Wentworth issued some facts to replace
the false perceptions.
First, with some 3,000 vacant teaching
positions open, no Pii.D. in business need
ever own a chauffeur’s license. Second, the
diversity of disciplines in business schools
allows for the widest range of bachelor's
and master's backgrounds.
Third, an AACSB survey shows the
mean nine-month salary for someone with
a new buisnessdoctbral degree Is $38,500,
up to $50,000 in some fields. Average
salaries for full professors exceed $50,000
and top salaries exceed $70,000, not in
cluding consiilting. writing and speaking
fees.

Washington trip features
Wyeth’s ‘Helga pictures’
The North Carolina Art Society and the
North Carolina Museum of Art will spon
sor a tour to Washington, D.C. June 12-14
featuring the exhibition “The Helga Pic
tures” by Andrew Wyeth at the National
Gallery of Art.
Other highlights of the trip will be a

‘The Helga Pictures” will be seen at the
National Gallery May 24-Sept. 27 in
conjunction with the exhibition “American
Drawings and Watercolors of the 20th
Century.” Comprising approximately 140
drawings and watercolors of Helga Testorf,
Wyeth’s neighbor in Chadds Ford, Pa., the
works were executed from 1971 to 1985.
Few of the vt^orks were known until sum
mer 1986 when their purchase by private
collector Leonard E.B. Andrews was an
nounced.
According to John Wilmerding, deputy
director of the National Gallery of Art,
“Such close attention by a painter to one
model over so long a period of time is a
remarkable, if not singlular, circumstance
in the history of American art.”
Accommodations will be in the Ritz-
Cariton Hotel. The cost of the trip is $318
double occupancy, $443 single occupancy.
Deadline for reservations is May 29.
