One Step Ahead 

“Though risk management and analytics are starting to trend, NC State is proud to be ahead of the curve. We’re very unique in that we started the ERM initiative, our globally-recognized thought leadership center for risk management, over twenty years ago. 

Thanks to our history in the risk management space, we realized early on that any kind of leadership position moving forward, no matter the industry, will require the ability to identify and navigate emerging risks. That’s why we created the Master of Management, Risk and Analytics (MRA).

Our program offers students access to world-renowned industry experts and thought leaders – allowing them to gain an unparalleled education to fast-track their careers. Whether students are just a step away from the role of chief risk officer or still learning the ropes in an entry-level position, we are committed to helping them take the next step.”
