About SolBridge
The founder of SolBridge, Dr. Sung-kyung Kim designed SolBridge as a multinational, multicultural, business school. The school was built around a four-year undergraduate program and has since developed a portfolio of graduate programs (MBA and specialized master's degrees).
Hamid Bouchikhi, who serves as its dean, is a professor of management and entrepreneurship and the author of multiple journal articles and books in organization theory, managerial innovation, and entrepreneurship.
SolBridge is the first business school in Korea with an international faculty and student body.[4] International students come from 60 countries and represent 80% of the student population.[1][5]
At SolBridge, all courses are taught in English[6] and students have to study Korean, Chinese and Japanese languages.
SolBridge graduates now work in nations around the world.
SolBridge is accredited by the AACSB board of executives. It is the youngest business school in AACSB's history to receive this accreditation, just 7 years after its establishment.
Partnerships exist with 260 schools and universities around the world, giving students opportunities to study in Asia, Europe, Australia and in the Americas.
SolBridge features an ultramodern high-rise campus located a few hundred meters from the Daejeon Station, a central node in the country's high-speed rail network.
