The curriculum of the master’s in Risk Management and Risk Analytics (RMRA) provides you with the tools to identify, analyze, and manage business and financial risks, with particular focus on commercial risks that are traditionally insured, including property, liability, and human resource exposures. You develop an understanding of the economics of risk transfer, including the role of reinsurers and captive insurance and risk transfer; study the legal and regulatory environment that governs risk transfer in the United States and internationally; and study the contractual forms commonly used by insurers to perfect risk transfer, as well as the strategic and operational management of insurance companies.
Students in the RMRA program must take 4 elective courses offered by The Peter J. Tobin College of Business at the 600 level or higher. 2 of the 4 electives must be from any of the RMI, ERM, ACT courses, or from three of the BUA courses in analytics.
