Apply your learning. Our integrated project is your opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom. This portion of the program takes place between the fall term and the winter term. While supervised by a faculty member, in two months you will develop a solution to a risk management problem commonly faced by financial institutions in collaboration with other students and with advice from industry professionals. This will be your chance to see what it’s like to work in financial risk management and to make deep connections with practitioners. The work you will be doing through this period is a lot like an internship experience, giving you a competitive edge in the job market.

Overall, this program includes experiential elements such as simulations and interactive online content that make the experience engaging and hands-on.  While we value theory and consider it an important part of the program, practice is at the core of this program as we want to train you to be the next leader in financial risk management.

Network, communicate and collaborate. You will get many opportunities to practice your communication skills throughout the program cycle. These soft skills are continuously emphasized as critical to business leaders. On the whole, this program will give you the tools and practice to come out with the confidence to present your ideas to executive leaders, and a network that will help you move forward in your career even after graduation.
