The Master of Science in Financial Risk Management will provide students with comprehensive, foundational knowledge of the current state of risk management issues, methodologies and challenges. This program is ideal for candidates who are just beginning their careers in finance, as well as for professionals who want to strengthen their knowledge and skills in this area.  Recent college graduates who are planning for careers in finance will gain a solid grounding in all areas of financial risk management, and will be well prepared for entry-level positions in risk management in all types of financial institutions.  Candidates who are more advanced in their careers will gain knowledge of current risk management tools, methodologies, and techniques, many of which have changed significantly in recent years following the financial crisis. The program also provides students the academic background needed for the professional certification tests of the leading professional financial risk management associations including the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification of the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) and the Professional Risk Manager (PRM) certification of the Professional Risk Managers International Association (PRMIA).
