Academic Information

Risk and insurance touches every aspect of daily life and business. When we drive our cars, we accept risk of damage to our automobile and potential injury to ourselves and others. When we operate our business, we encounter risks to our business property, reputation, and livelihood. Risk management and insurance allows our lives and the economy to operate smoothly in the reality that "bad things" will occasionally happen. Risk management and insurance is what allows individuals and businesses to rebuild when things go wrong in both our personal and business lives.

As a risk management and insurance professional, you will be responsible for putting lives back together. Insurance agents, risk managers, underwriters, claims, marketing, IT, human resources, and customer service representatives all work together to make the world a better place. Insurance is a global business – presenting the opportunity to work almost anywhere in the world.
