The Kellogg School, in conjunction with PRMIA, will offer a non-degree executive education course, The Complete Course in Risk Management, beginning in February 2009 in Chicago. This course will provide participants with a broad and solid foundation of knowledge that will prepare them to effectively practice risk management.
"We are very pleased to be partnering with PRMIA and look forward to offering this risk management course at the Kellogg School," said Professor Robert Korajczyk, director of the Zell Center for Risk Research at Kellogg. "As the financial services industry grapples with issues relating to the markets and recent turbulent events, we are seeing increased emphasis on risk management. This course will provide the program participants with the tools they need to lead their firms effectively."
PRMIA, in conjunction with the Kellogg School and its other leading University Partners around the world, seeks to set the international standards for graduate level education in risk management and financial engineering, to offer training and development programs in finance and risk management around the world, and to reinvest the proceeds of these activities into scholarly research, scholarships and further educational efforts.
"The curriculum that we have designed with PRMIA will provide practitioners with the most comprehensive overview of risk management available in the marketplace," said Professor Russell Walker, assistant director of the Zell Center at Kellogg. "In addition to covering market, credit, and operational risk in great detail, we will provide the participants with training in reputational risk, supply chain risk, and how to communicate risk in an organization."
Timur Gok, Regional Director, PRMIA Chicago and Instructor, Department of Finance, Northern Illinois University, added, "PRMIA's partnership with the Kellogg School substantiates the rise of risk management and our higher standards. We are delighted and look forward to collaborating with such an outstanding academic institution."
