MS Program

  • MS in Management of Risk - The MS program in the Management of Risk has a special focus on insurance as a tool of risk management but the broader goal of the program is to enable its graduates to finance corporate risk, within the realities of the firm's environment, in a way that preserves/enhances firm value.
  • MBA Program - A Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree is intended to provide broad business knowledge and prepares students for cross-functional decision making within an organization. A risk/insurance specialization is earned by successfully completing an introductory course in the Management of Risk and up to four (but no less than three) other RMI designated 600-level courses (or higher). This specialization allows students to build upon the program’s broad business education by providing an in-depth study of managing risk, or managing the finances of an insurance firm, or product design.
