Are you good at recognizing preventable hazards? Do you like to analyze and assess situations? Are you concerned about unnecessary property loss or personal injury? You may enjoy a rewarding career as a high-demand, risk management professional.

Our program will allow you to build a strong foundation in the science of risk management. The CWU Risk Management Minor (RMM) adds value to many degrees such as safety and health management, business administration, mathematics, actuarial science, physical sciences, engineering technologies, architecture, and many more. You can pursue a risk management career in industries spanning from construction to aviation and insurance.

You will gain practical skills to avoid, reduce, and manage risk, and to develop and implement a balanced hazard risk financing strategy using retention, transfer, and hybrid strategies.
 

The Program

The RMM will prepare and allow you to sit for the nationally recognized Associate in Risk Management (ARM™) designation exams immediately after completing the RMM courses. The ARM designation will be a vital, value-added component to your CWU degree. It will make you more attractive to employers and enhance your potential for career advancement.
