Insurance + MBA Courses

The MSRI curriculum includes foundational risk and insurance courses in the areas of property and casualty as well as employee benefits, plus a series of MBA courses. Students in our program not only gain knowledge in risk and insurance, they acquire competencies in accounting, finance, and leadership, preparing them for all types of management positions.

In addition to online courses, the program includes two required in-residence experiences that occur at the beginning and end of the program.

I want to be the best risk manager I can be.

The greatest benefit of the Butler MSRI program was helping me realize what I wanted out of a career in risk management. The program gave me the tools I needed to approach risk management and insurance differently and challenge myself to tackle tough issues head on.
