RISK MANAGEMENT & INSURANCE ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2009 and after)


This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements neccessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

Risk management/insurance is a limited-access major. To be admitted to the major, you must have completed at least 52 hours, have earned a “C-“ or better in the Admission Prerequisite Courses (CGS2100, MAC2233, ECO2013, ECO2023, ACG2021, & STA2023), and have the required overall GPA. The program permits the student to specialize in insurance-related studies. The field of insurance offers challenging work and diverse opportunities for non-sales careers as well as providing protection to individuals, groups, and industries. The program emphasizes corporate insurance and related products. The objective of the curriculum is to acquaint students with the effects of risk and uncertainty upon business and society. The analysis of risk and the methods of meeting risk are placed in proper perspective as part of a broad business management curriculum.
