Safeguard your career future
While there's no such thing as a sure thing, Tippie's Risk Management & Insurance (RMI) Certificate is a solid investment in your career growth.
RMI professionals help companies and individuals identify risk exposures, determine how (and how much) it could impact them, and put processes and protections in place—like insurance contracts.
Iowa is positioned among the top insurance employers in the nation, and open opportunities abound. The Risk Management & Insurance Certificate prepares you to fill these roles. You'll gain an understanding of the unique landscape of insurance along with the ability to make strategic recommendations that will help your company avoid undue risk.
Want to keep a good thing going? You can count your RMI Certificate credits toward the Iowa MBA.
