What You’ll Learn

With a strong emphasis on technology and digital solutions, our program focuses on enterprise risk management, going beyond traditional areas of cybersecurity, financial risk, and insurance to spotlight business continuity management, product and market development, human capital and risk management, and legal/regulatory risk management.
