MS in Enterprise Risk Management

The M.S. Program in Enterprise Risk Management recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of business activity and integrates the fields of  insurance, finance, accounting and management in order to prepare our students for careers in the increasingly important field of risk management. The program reinforces the need for risk to be managed at the strategic and operational levels of the organization, with well-prepared managers who can guide an integrated risk management process. The public expectation for executive oversight of enterprise-wide risks has risen, and companies across multiple industries are seeking graduates with the ability and necessary skills to analysis and take risk when needed.
