FSU Undergraduate Program in Risk Management and Insurance - GIS

portunities to students and resources to the industry. The program is designed to provide students with an overall background in risk management, life and health insurer operations and products; property and casualty operations and products; and employee benefits. Historically, the placement rate for graduates of the program has been excellent. In addition to the university's career service activities, the RMI department holds Insurance Days, its own two-day placement program for RMI majors focusing on internships and full-time jobs. Career opportunities include sales, underwriting, loss control, claims, and risk management. The risk management/insurance degree allows students to "fast-track" many training programs and to maintain a competitive advantage over other new hires. Close interaction between the RMI students and faculty continues as a hallmark of the program. Additionally, our alumni have helped to create a strong relationship between the risk management/insurance community and the RMI program at FSU. This is fostered by the Florida State Insurance Society, a student organization providing a forum for students, faculty, and business leaders to interact inside and outside of the classroom.
