CURRICULUM

Risk management and insurance is a central part of any organization’s strategic management. It is the methodical process used to address the risks to their activities with the goal of achieving sustained benefit. Risk managers and insurance professionals help identify, evaluate and manage key risks, including natural disasters and man-made catastrophes. The globalization of economic enterprise and the complexities of our multinational corporate environment are creating an increasing demand for highly skilled risk managers

In this degree program we teach students the skills necessary to master the financial, legal and economic theories at the heart of corporate risk management. This includes understanding such concepts and tools as risk analysis and transfer/financing. Emphasis is also placed on developing outstanding communications skills, necessary for achieving success in today’s competitive business environment. Students with strong problem-solving and communications skills gain the critical thinking needed to make key decisions under fluctuating circumstances.
