Risk Management
Providence CE Campus
(College of Business)
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree
Graduates of this program can expect to find employment in the private sector, as well as in government agencies, particularly at the federal level.
The Risk Management bachelor’s degree program is designed to provide graduates with strong management and security management foundations as well as advanced studies in this rapidly growing field. Security is one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide, with a strong demand for investigators in areas including computer and financial information security, as well as managers and directors of security and risk management at major corporations and organizations. The demand for heightened security and mitigation of risk in many industries is driven by activities that disrupt normal operations including fraud, information theft, computer hacking, workplace violence, terrorism and economic crime.
This program teaches business operations and security/risk management, as well as providing an understanding of financial data and network environments. Students will learn about the latest trends, issues, and concerns within the field while completing course work in security/risk, computer science, electronics, business management, law, accounting, personnel and information management.
Risk management is a private industry-focused field that supplements public agency protection. Security/risk managers work with staff and technology to protect assets, personnel and property from outside threats. They also work with local, state and federal law enforcement.
Graduates are expected to demonstrate an ability to use logic, critical thinking and analytical skills to assist in the decision making process as well as to make recommendations to individuals and organizations using financial information.
An important component of the program’s educational experience is the general studies courses taught by the School of Arts & Sciences. Graduates are expected to show competencies in higher order thinking, ethics, global diversity, responsible citizenship and leadership. The following literacies should also be demonstrated: sociocultural, quantitative, scientific and informational.
Students are required to complete a 13.5 credit internship as part of the program.
