Risk Management and Insurance Concentration
Business graduates with a concentration in risk management and insurance find a variety of career opportunities open to them as risk managers and employee benefit specialists in the private business sector as well as with the state and local government. A high percentage of insurance companies and managed care entities have regional and home offices in the Sacramento and Bay Areas. Therefore graduates also find careers in underwriting, claims adjusting, loss control, information systems, and financial management in addition to the traditional opportunities as insurance agents, brokers and financial planners. Risk management and insurance students often combine this concentration with other business concentrations such as Finance, Human Resources Management, General Management, International Business and Marketing. Students are encouraged to participate in the risk and insurance fraternity,Gamma Iota Sigma. The student organization maintains strong ties to the community and cultivates internships and part-time employment in risk management and insurance in a variety of local businesses and the government sectors. Courses from the Departmental and College of Business offerings may be used to assist students in attaining professional designations helpful for career enhancement. Continuing education credits for California insurance agents and brokers may be earned through the risk management insurance courses. Check with the instructors.
