traditional and emerging risks. Students are encouraged and
supported in efforts to obtain industry certifications that will
enhance their career progress upon graduation.
Diploma in Risk and Insurance –
A two-semester, 24 credit-hour program designed, in essence, as a
"second major" for people who did not pursue Risk Management or
Insurance in their undergraduate programs and wish to gain such a
base of knowledge. While an undergraduate degree is not a
prerequisite for admission, most people who enroll possess a
minimum of an Associate degree, significant college level study
and/or industry experience.
Students meeting selective criteria are invited to join Gamma
Iota Sigma, a national honorary fraternity for students majoring in
Risk Management and Insurance as well as Actuarial Science. Members
must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. In addition to the
recognition associated with membership in an honorary organization,
members have opportunities for extensive contact and interaction
with industry representatives, through the meetings and special
conferences sponsored by the fraternity, and through the services
offered through the Gamma Iota Sigma Grand Chapter. The objectives
of the Fraternity include: to promote friendly interaction between
students, faculty and Insurance executives; to foster the
scientific study in the field of Insurance; to develop sound
thinking in Insurance theories, and a more exact knowledge and
definition of Insurance principles; and to develop a better public
understanding and appreciation of Insurance problems.
