This is an exciting discipline that has tremendous opportunities and applications. Students will learn about the quantitative aspects of risk and portfolio valuation, risk management best practices for corporations, risk transfer, risk retention, alternative methods, and insurance operations.

Students are encouraged to select career options in insurance including claims, underwriting, and customer representatives. Careers in risk management and portfolio analysis or financial planning are also possibilities.
