Risk Management and Insurance Concentration
The risk management and insurance concentration prepares students for employment in three major areas. The first is insurance agency work, which involves the selling and servicing of insurance products for individuals and businesses. ECU graduates can expect to find employment with these companies both in sales and service positions. The second is an insurance company career, working to create and service the actual insurance products used by firms and individuals to reduce the financial impact of losses. The most common entry-level positions with insurers are underwriter and claims/loss adjuster. Third is the risk management profession. The risk manager of a company anticipates possible losses and develops a plan to survive them. Employment opportunities in a corporate risk management department include risk analyst, loss control specialist, and claims manager.
