Collegiate risk management and insurance education

This article reports results from a survey of collegiate risk management and insurance (RMI) education programs in the United States and Canada. The study was requested by the Strategic Planning Committee of the American Risk and Insurance Association. The results update and extend those reported in the last such survey, completed in 1988 by Thrower and Gardner. The number of collegiate RMI programs has remained relatively stable since 1988. More than 26,000 students took RMI courses during 1992 through 1993 at over 200 responding schools. Furthermore, growth seems likely, especially among schools with established RMI programs.
