The minor in risk management and insurance provides students with the skills necessary for success in risk management as it applies to individuals and enterprises. Careers in the RMI industry include the private sector, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. Students gain insights into managing property, liability, life-cycle risks (life, health, disability and pensions), financial risks, and cyber risks. InsurTech, the intersection of insurance and technology, is another dimension of the minor that is taught. 

Finance majors with a concentration in risk management and insurance are not eligible to complete this minor. 

The minor requires a minimum of 18 credits and students must attain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in the courses fulfilling the minor.   

Students should take FIRE 309  first, as it is a prerequisite for the other RMI courses.
