MS Programs:
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. Students requiring prerequisite
material may be admitted, on a provisional basis, for an intensive
course in August before the cohort program begins.
MS in Enterprise Risk Management - The
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program is a risk-based approach
to management. With a special focus on the identification of the
financial consequences of business opportunities and their
associated hazards, the approach involves the proactive management
of the enterprise to protect and create value for their
stakeholders. The program focuses on the tools to identifying
strategic directions and the particular events or circumstances
relevant to the organization's objectives (risks and opportunities)
associated with alternative strategies; to assess the risks and
opportunities in terms of the frequency and severity of impact, to
plan for or the determination of a subsequent financial or
strategic response, and to monitoring the progress of the
enterprise. The program involves a collaborative effort by
the School of Risk Management and the departments of Accounting,
Finance, and Management of the Tobin College of Business. Students
requiring prerequisite material may be admitted, on a provisional
basis, for an intensive course in August before the cohort program
begins.
MBA Program
• 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 (RMI 601) 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. Two suggested paths include the Management of Risk
(RMI 604, 605, and 614) or Insurance Financial Management (RMI 604,
605, and at least one of 609/610).
