Welcome to the Risk Management Program
Graduate Program in Risk Management
Leverage your interest in finance with a Master’s degree or a 12-credit Advanced Certificate in Risk Management, a field with rapidly growing career possibilities on Wall Street and across every sector.
- Study in a top program that’s affordable—and in close proximity to the world’s capital markets.
- Our graduates go on to careers in major financial institutions, accounting firms, or insurance firms. Graduates also take on roles such as consulting, assurance, audit and actuarial services, in other industries or government agencies.
Risk management is not just about insurance and derivatives—it’s a field that is increasingly vital for any business that hopes to control exposure and make strategic decisions about what risks to assume. At Queens College, our job placement rate is exemplary, with virtually all our graduates working in risk management or related fields.
