Are you ready for the quantitative side of finance? Are you ready to help financial institutions, companies, and governments' project opportunities? Freeman's Master of Risk Management (MRISK) is a specialized program designed for those who are ready to focus and advance in this challenging area of finance.

MRISK is an intensive full-time program with enrollment starting in January. The program includes coursework in finance, risk management, econometrics, and energy finance. The MRISK is a 11-month, 34 credit-hour graduate program. You start in December with an on-line course. The program continues on-campus from January through December.

MRISK program graduates are prepared to meet the demand of today's financial arena. MRISK grads have mastered the analytical and practical tools necessary to manage financial risk in a modern, global environment. Tulane's program pre¬pares the MRISK graduate to take the Level I & 2 Financial Risk Manager exam.

The Freeman Career Management Center works with you throughout the MRISK program to develop professional opportunities. Unique Freeman events like Freeman Days in New York, Houston, and New Orleans help you build networks within the larger financial markets.

Applicants must either hold a bachelor's degree or expect to receive a bachelor's degree before they commence the MRISK program. Prior training in finance or work experience is not required, but a strong academic record and extensive quantitative preparation is necessary. The MRISK program starts with on-line preparation in December.

Students completing the MRISK program would be qualified for advanced careers in accounting, consulting, or continued graduate study. Students must meet qualification requirements to sit for the FRM Examination to receive the MRISK degree.
