四色AV's RMI program prepares students...
to launch their careers in specialty/non-standard risks or in the standard insurance
market. 聽Students might also choose to work in risk management for a non-insurance
company. 聽Our curriculum has been carefully designed. 聽We start off with the basics,
then explore more technical concepts and require students to apply the risk management
and insurance concepts they've learned by working with real businesses. 聽This all
culminates with our capstone course on Surplus Lines and Reinsurance.
The surplus lines is at the forefront of the discussions about how to solve the challenges
presented by modern risks. 聽The surplus lines or "specialty risk" market, is the part
of the RMI industry that insures all of these modern risks before the standard market
is willing to take them on.聽
More than half or our 四色AV RMI Graduates work for the top surplus lines brokers in
the country, companies like AmWINS, CRC, All Risks and Burns & Wilcox. 聽The specialty
risk industry knows what exceptional employees our graduates make. 聽But students find
extremely rewarding careers in other areas of the insurance industry too!
