PRMIA Awards Provisional Accreditation to New York University Stern School of Business Executive MS in Risk Management

PRMIA today announced that it has awarded provisional risk management accreditation to the new Executive Master of Science in Risk Management degree program at NYU Stern School of Business.

This new degree program, which is offered in partnership with Amsterdam Institute of Finance (AIF), has been designed for risk managers in financial firms and those who have this function in other companies. The one-year program begins in April 2009 and consists of 10 modules: six in Amsterdam (three-day sessions) and four consecutive modules in New York (a two-week intensive period during summer). The modular format allows executives to continue their professional careers while earning a degree.

"The Executive Master of Science in Risk Management is a rigorous and broad-gauge executive degree program intended to encourage development of a new generation of high-performance risk managers in financial and nonfinancial firms who combine technical expertise with good intuition and common sense about the value and limitations of risk models," says NYU Stern Program Director Ingo Walter. "The program is designed to create leaders who can help guide their organizations to make sensible, balanced risk/return decisions under intense competitive pressure. PRMIA's dedication to promote a higher standard for risk professionals is directly in line with the mission of our new program, and we are delighted that it has been granted accreditation."
