BA Insurance

A bachelor's degree program in insurance and risk management prepares students to help businesses and individuals foresee potential risks and minimize losses. Studies often focus on the principles of business, finance, economics, and organizational management while covering the theories behind risk management and loss management. These 4-year programs should also provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge of the insurance industry. Courses cover the basics of life and health insurance policies, insurance laws and regulations, commercial insurance, and personal insurance. Graduates should have a sufficient educational background and technical training to pass examinations for state licensure, if required.
