Enterprise Risk Management, MS General Enterprise Leadership Specialization
The Master of Science in Enterprise Risk Management requires the completion of 12 total courses for the degree: 5 core courses, 6 specialization courses, and the capstone. All students complete a shared core that integrates enterprise, regulatory, quantitative, and technology risk foundations, drawing on widely used frameworks such as COSO ERM, ISO 31000, and NIST. The curriculum emphasizes data-driven risk analysis, ethical decision-making, and risk culture, while building the leadership, project management, and executive communication skills required to engage senior leaders and regulators. Students then pursue either a General Enterprise Leadership or AI & Technology Risk Leadership specialization.
The General Enterprise Leadership specialization is designed for students pursuing broad ERM leadership roles across financial, corporate, or public sectors.
