This is the oldest one (circa 1971) among the programs offered
by the School of Risk Management. Many of its graduates are leading
the risk management and insurance industry or working in the public
sector in countries around the world. This program is probably one
of a kind in the United States in that students study only Risk
Management and Insurance courses and can complete it in two
semesters.
Those who may consider this program include:
- Insurance company employees who need to
develop extensive knowledge in risk management and insurance (many
of the graduates in fact having been sent by their employers for
training purposes);
- Graduates with another degree who wish to
generate academic knowledge as preparation to enter the risk
management and insurance industry; or
- Undergraduate students (juniors) or graduate students
in other universities who currently major in risk
management, insurance or actuarial science and wish to spend a year
in the United States and earn a certificate in this field (in
addition to their undergraduate degree).
