Risk Management and Insurance Doctoral ProgramGeneral Description The goal of the RMI Doctoral Program is to train students for careers in research, teaching, and service at the college and university level. The RMI Doctoral Program is a full-time, on-campus program that will take the typical student three to five years to complete, depending on the student’s background. Coursework in RMI, finance, economics, and statistics, coupled with colloquia and collaboration with faculty, prepare students to conduct and publish meaningful research. A description of the RMI Doctoral Program is shown below. Prerequisites All Risk Management and Insurance doctoral students must satisfy the following prerequisites:
Analytical Tools and Research Area (TAR) Students must take five (5) courses in the Tools and Research Area:
Primary Area RMI doctoral students must take nine (9) courses for the primary area. The doctoral primary area in RMI covers the foundation, theory, and current practice in the discipline.
In addition to the requirements in the Tools and Research area, RMI doctoral students will take at least two doctoral-level economics courses. The two economics courses will be chosen in consultation with the primary area adviser and will normally be advanced macro- and micro-economics. RMI doctoral students also are expected to have or acquire computer literacy through course work or self study. Support Area Students take three (3) or four (4) courses, where no more than two (2) of the Support area courses may be used to satisfy other requirements. In consultation with the primary area Adviser, students choose a Support area. The Support area provides an opportunity to study in an area complementary to the primary area and the student's interests. The support area normally consists of three or four courses. Typical Support areas are Finance, Econometrics, Real Estate, and Statistics. Suggested Course Sequence for Risk Management & Insurance Doctoral Students
