Program Overview

Earn an Executive Certificate in Risk Management

The SERC Risk Academy is an eight-week intensive training focused on the fundamentals of risk management and best practices across industry sectors. The underlying premise of SERC is that risk is industry-agnostic and that every risk practitioner can benefit and learn from the experiences of other industries.

The goal of the Risk Academy is to expose up-and-coming risk practitioners to cross-industry perspectives so they can think about risk differently. Our high-caliber faculty are set to impart their knowledge on the next generation of risk practitioners, so they do not have to learn it the hard way!

Over the course of eight weeks, the cohort will hear from leaders in financial services, pharmaceuticals, insurance and aerospace – all regulated industries, but each with different experiences in risk management. What better way to jump-start a career in risk management than by learning from these industry leaders!
