Overview

The University of Connecticut, Master of Science in Financial Risk Management program emphasizes both rigorous theoretical and quantitative analysis, as well as practical and hands on experience addressing real world risk management problems (i.e. credit, interest rate, currency and market risk in asset and wealth management, arbitrage strategies, restructuring and combinations, and alternative investments).

Additionally, we are excited to offer a new full semester of three 3-credit courses for the incoming and current cohort.

This semester will include two courses on advanced and quantitative applications in Financial Modelling and Financial Engineering and a comprehensive course on Enterprise Risk management (ERM). This change will extend our 15 month program to 19 months. The students choosing this option will graduate in May rather than in December.
