This concentration teaches students to create and implement quantitative models for assessing operational and market risks involving interest rates, credit, currencies, and equities. The program also covers qualitative risk management techniques addressing organizational responses to operational risks, shifts in leadership and politics, corporate governance, fraud prevention, as well as strategic and reputational risks. While risk management careers traditionally focused on financial services, they now extend to numerous non-financial industries that actively manage currency, commodity, and interest rate exposures, along with various operational and business risks.
