Risk Management and Insurance

Risk Management and Insurance scholars ask questions such as: What legal restrictions govern tax shelters in Canada? How is loss data analyzed? What is the best way to develop a loss prevention strategy?

Risk Management involves formally identifying and evaluating risk, and choosing the most efficient way to pay for and recover from potential loss. One method often considered to handle potential losses is insurance, which is the organized sharing of losses across individuals and companies. Over the course of your studies you'll develop an understanding of the risk management process, insurance products for business, and insurance company operations. You'll complete formal presentations, group projects and various case studies during the course of your degree.
