Expectations and goals 
We live in a world of constant change and emerging risks.  The level of risk varies depending on location, timing, and a host of variables.  The focus of this class is to expose students to the world of risk and the ways in which the Insurance Industry and risk professionals manage and minimize risk so that individuals, organizations, and business entities can continue to operate, grow, and expand despite the threat of loss.

Students will be invited to engage, explore, and contribute to conversations on concepts and approaches explained by course materials. 

Students will have a choice of a culminating project from a list of suggested projects. Guidelines for the project will be reviewed in class.
