Risk Management Program Description
NDMU is requesting an expansion of their existing P.B.C. in Risk Management to include a Master of Science degree. Housed in the Department of Business and Economics, the program will be offered in both online and face-to- face modalities. The program will enable students who desire a comprehensive and focused degree at the master's level to move into more demanding career opportunities. The Master of Science in Risk Management intends to train professionals employed in academia, business, government, consumer protection, economics, engineering, environmental science and policy, epidemiology, food safety, government, environmental health and safety, law, public health policy and research, toxicology and related fields in identifying, assessing, minimizing, avoiding and prudently taking risk in achieving <br>organizational strategic goals. Upon completion of the program, students will be equipped with the skillset to apply this knowledge and use proper management in forecasting, evaluating, and mitigating adverse business concerns.
