Bachelor's in Risk Management and Insurance

The major in risk management and insurance prepares students to diagnose and treat risks that are inherent in the operation of profit and not-for-profit institutions. Besides professional careers in risk management, the major cultivates skills required for challenging opportunities in organizations that accept these risks--private and governmental insurers, as well as brokerage/agency and consulting organizations.

The program of study may be structured to aid students seeking professional designations of Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), and designations awarded through the auspices of the Insurance Institute of America including Associate in Risk Management (ARM).
