Students require approval from their mentor and the Concentration Director for all course selections, including those dropped and/or added.
The program of study may be individualized to a significant degree for the student's best professional and scholarly development. With approval from the Concentration Director, students may take other electives to match their research interests. Suggested focus areas and courses may be chosen with approval from the Concentration Director.
This is a theory-focused course.
This is a finance-focused course.
This is an economics-focused course.
Of the 6 required research credits, a minimum of 2 credits of BA 9999 must be taken. The other 4 credits may be taken in any combination of BA 9994 , BA 9998 , and BA 9999 . Given that 6 credits constitute the minimum requirement, additional credits may be needed to fulfill the degree program's culminating experiences. Doctoral students must maintain continuous enrollment from matriculation to graduation.
Culminating Events: Preliminary Examination: The purpose of the preliminary examination is to demonstrate critical and interpretive knowledge of current research. The subject areas are determined, in advance, by the faculty of the department. The preliminary exam should be completed no more than one term after the student completes the coursework component of the program. Students who are preparing to write their preliminary examinations should confirm a time and date with their departmental advisor.
The members of the student's department write the questions for the preliminary exam. The student must answer every question on the examination in order to be evaluated by the Department Committee. The evaluators look for a breadth and depth of understanding of specific research areas, a critical application of that knowledge to specific phenomena, and an ability to write technical prose. Each member votes to pass or fail the student. In order to pass, a majority of the committee members must agree that the exam has been satisfactorily completed.
Proposal: The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed research. The proposal should consist of the following:
The proposal should be completed and approved no more than one year after completing coursework. Upon approval, a timeline for completing the investigation and writing process is established.
Dissertation: The doctoral dissertation is an original empirical study that makes a significant contribution to the field. It should expand the existing knowledge and demonstrate the student's knowledge of both research methods and a mastery of their primary area of interest. Dissertations should be rigorously investigated; uphold the ethics and standard of the field; demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the primary area of interest and the broader field of business; and be prepared for publication in an academic journal.
The Doctoral Advisory Committee is formed to oversee the student's doctoral research and is comprised of at least three Graduate Faculty members. Two members, including the Chair, must be from the student's department. The Chair is responsible for overseeing and guiding the student's progress, coordinating the responses of the committee members, and informing the student of her/his academic progress.
The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the student's dissertation and oral defense, including the student's ability to express verbally their research question, methodological approach, primary findings and implications. The Dissertation Examining Committee votes to pass or fail the dissertation and the defense at the conclusion of the public presentation. This committee is comprised of the Doctoral Advisory Committee and at least one additional faculty member from outside the department.
If any member decides to withdraw from the committee, the student shall notify the Chair of the Dissertation Examining Committee and the PhD Managing Director. The student is responsible for finding a replacement, in consultation with the Chair. Inability to find a replacement shall constitute evidence that the student is unable to complete the dissertation. In such a case, the student may petition the PhD Managing Director for a review. Once review of the facts and circumstances is completed, the Director will rule on the student's progress. If the Director rules that the student is not capable of completing the dissertation, the student will be dismissed from the program. This decision may be appealed to the Senior Associate Dean. If dismissed, the student may appeal to the Graduate School.
Students who are preparing to defend their dissertation should confirm a time and date with their Dissertation Examining Committee and register with the Graduate Secretary at least 15 days before the defense is to be scheduled. The Graduate Secretary arranges the time, date and room within two working days, and forwards to the student the appropriate forms. After the Graduate Secretary has scheduled the defense, the student must send to the Graduate School a completed "Announcement of Dissertation Defense" form, found in TUportal under the Tools tab within "University Forms," at least 10 days before the defense. The department posts flyers announcing the defense, and the Graduate School announces the defense on its website.

The RMI doctoral program emphasizes current research topics in Risk Management, Insurance Operations and Performance, Insurance Regulation, and Risk Theory. In addition, students are taught a variety of theoretical and empirical research methods and tools using statistics, econometrics, and mathematical economics.
All Risk Management and Insurance Doctoral students must have completed undergraduate level courses in Calculus I, Calculus II, and Linear Algebra.
All RMI doctoral students must complete courses in three areas: Tools for Analytical Research (TAR), Primary RMI and Support.
I. Tools for Analytical Research (TAR) Area
Students must take the following three courses:
Students must also take three additional quantitative courses in Statistics, or Economics numbered 5000 and above with the approval of the doctoral program adviser. Examples include:
RMI doctoral students are expected to have or acquire computer literacy through coursework or self-study
II. Primary RMI Coursework
The primary area courses and seminars provide opportunities for in-depth study. RMI doctoral students must take the following doctoral seminars and courses:
Students must take an additional three RMI elective courses approved by the doctoral adviser. Examples include RMI 5136 (Employee Benefit Plans), RMI 5345 (Risk Management in the Business Enterprise).
Students will take at least two additional doctoral-level economics courses that are not included in the Tools and Research area above. The two economics courses will be chosen in consultation with the program director. RMI doctoral students also are expected to have or acquire computer literacy through course work or self-study.
In addition to these courses, first-year and second-year students will participate in a professional development series that will be an additional registered course in each semester of the first two years of the program. The development series is designed to introduce doctoral students to the roles and responsibilities of faculty, including research ethics, communication with faculty at other universities, the research review process, balancing research, teaching and service, among other topics.
In addition to the regularly scheduled seminars, the RMI faculty and doctoral students meet periodically to share the results of recent research conducted by FSU faculty and doctoral students and by invited scholars from other universities. RMI doctoral students are required to attend these RMI brown bag seminars and invited lectures.
III. Support Area Coursework
RMI doctoral students typically choose a support area in Finance. The courses for this support area include:
Normally, three or four courses are required in the support area. In addition, at least two of the courses required in the support area cannot be used to satisfy other requirements. The support area is chosen in consultation with the RMI doctoral program adviser.
There is also a required research paper that must be completed by the end of the second year. The paper is directed by the RMI faculty and is designed to prepare the student for the dissertation and subsequent research.

Virtually all PhD students in business are funded at a level that guarantees a minimum of five years of the following: full tuition remission; scholarship funding; a monthly stipend; comprehensive family health insurance plan, travel funding for students presenting at academic conferences.
Risk is at the core of business profitability. The ability to evaluate risk and create strategies to mitigate its effects has broad applications–in insurance, business, manufacturing, and public policy. Factors such as the mortgage and credit crisis, environmental regulation, mass torts, health care reform, and natural disaster are creating an urgent need for advanced scholarship and visionary leadership. The International Risk Management Institute (IRMI) estimates that about half of the insurance and risk management (IRM) workforce will retire within fifteen years, fueling demand for actuarial science and risk management experts at all levels.
A doctorate in insurance and risk management qualifies you to reinvent the field for the twenty-first century, either by advancing scholarship and training the next generation of IRM workers, or by working as a senior-level financial professional. A PhD in business in Insurance and Risk Management can open doors to a career as a university professor, researcher, business school instructor, or as a senior risk analyst, actuary, financial analyst, or expert consultant.
Earning an online or campus-based PhD in Insurance and Risk Management requires discipline and planning. The degree is the highest qualification in the field and involves four to six years of graduate-level work. This guide to a PhD in Insurance and Risk Management takes you through the process of researching and applying to doctorate programs.
The field of insurance and risk management (sometimes referred to as IRM or RMI) originated in the latter half of the twentieth century as a subset of business and finance disciplines. The field assumed a higher profile in the 1980s, reflecting a rise in the importance of business risk management. Academic insurance and risk management researchers point to executive liability, medical malpractice, product liability, and natural catastrophes to explain the rise of IRM in the past twenty years.
Today’s IRM programs incorporate elements of economics, finance, psychology, human resources, law, and even engineering and chaos theory to shed light on effective risk management. Most recently, the field has embraced high-level mathematical modeling (econometrics) to assess and manage risk
As the discipline evolves, advanced education options are steadily expanding. In 1995, there were an estimated 80 doctoral students specializing in insurance and risk management at 11 universities nationwide. Five years later, an additional 22 schools added graduate-level IRM courses and degrees. At the doctorate level, you find two options: the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). These terminal doctoral degrees are considered equal in rigor, but divergent in purpose.
In practice, the distinction between the two doctorates has become blurred–in particular, many PhD graduates go on to high-level professional careers in the private sector. Find more information about the distinctions among doctorates at WorldWideLearn.com’s Online PhD Degrees and Doctoral Programs page.
The two doctorates suggest the division in doctoral-level career paths–graduates can choose to pursue either an academic or a professional track.
Academic careers focus on original scholarship and teaching roles. Academics serve as university professors and researchers. Some lend their expertise as consultants to public and private sector clients or as expert legal witnesses.
Professional careers include senior-level positions as a:
Both the PhD and DBA in Insurance and Risk Management offer a vast range of specialization options. In many cases, IRM is already a concentration within the business department. In any case, the opportunity to create your own independent project enables you to focus on a particular application or area of interest.
Some examples of academic and theoretical risk management specializations are:
Insurance-specific academic and applied specializations include:
Applied insurance and risk management specializations include:
Each program emphasizes a particular set of specializations. Determining which area suits your interests helps you determine which PhD or DBA program in insurance and risk management is right for you.
Once you’ve gained insight into your own academic interests and career ambitions, you’re in a good position to identify the PhD or DBA program that matches your needs.
Given the highly specialized nature of doctoral education, it’s crucial to find the perfect fit. Each program offers a unique mix of resources and opportunities. The following four steps take you through the process of researching doctoral programs. You can find links to useful online resources for each step.
Goal: Create a comprehensive list of accredited programs that offer a PhD or DBA program in insurance and risk management.
Begin your research by compiling a list of accredited PhD or DBA programs. Accreditation is the baseline criterion of any higher education institution. Regular evaluation by an independent nationally recognized accrediting agency ensures the quality of your education and the value of your degree–not to mention your eligibility for some federal financial aid programs. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the major national accrediting agency of business graduate schools. The U.S. Department of Education maintains a comprehensive database of approved national and regional accreditation agencies.
Online PhD directories and accrediting agency member lists can point you to accredited doctoral programs in insurance and risk management. Check out the following sites:
Goal: Focus your list by deciding which program delivery format best suits your lifestyle and learning style.
Advances in distance learning technology have made online education a viable option for higher education, particularly professional practice doctorates such as the DBA. The PhD is also available online, but aspiring academics typically choose a campus or hybrid online/campus PhD in order to access on-site resources.
Explore program format options at WorldWideLearn.com. The Online Degree Programs and Campus Education sections help you find PhD programs with the delivery format that best meets your circumstances and career goals.
Goal: Research academic programs, prospecting for potential faculty mentors who share your academic interests.
In this stage, you match your academic interests and career ambitions with a suitable academic program. Because faculty mentorship is such an important feature of a doctoral program in insurance and risk management, it’s critical to find a professor whose research and theoretical approach match your own. Take into account the following factors:
WorldWideLearn.com facilitates your program research by automating the matching process. Fill out an online form indicating your academic program criteria and the system identifies schools that meet your specifications. An academic counselor will contact you to discuss the program and answer your questions.
School Web sites offer useful information about professor research interests, special programs and school publications, student research projects, and more.
Academic Journals can help you focus your research interests and identify leaders in your field. Major journals in insurance and risk management include: The Journal of Risk and Insurance , Risk Management and Insurance Review , and Risk Management magazine.
Goal: Create a final list of schools to which you want to apply, balancing factors such as program quality, selectivity, and cost.
In the final analysis, the right school for you depends on a range of practical considerations, including:
Aim to create a list of about six doctoral programs, taking into account both program quality and your own competitiveness as an applicant. It’s a good idea to apply to both a ‘dream’ school and a ‘safety’ school.
Rankings can give you a sense of a doctoral program’s reputation and selectivity. Some to consider:
School Data offers a picture of the typical doctoral candidate, including selectivity information, demographic data, and job placement statistics.
Campus Visits allow you to meet one-on-one with faculty and graduate students to develop a more holistic sense of the doctoral program experience.
Once you’ve developed your final list of campus or online PhD programs in insurance and risk management, the application process becomes a matter of connecting the dots. Steps to take include:
The following resources can help you navigate the logistics of applying to a campus or online PhD in Insurance and Risk Management.

How to apply.
If you are interested in pursuing a PhD with the School of Risk and Actuarial Studies (UNSW Business), then you will need to receive an Invitation to Apply from the school’s Postgraduate Research Coordinator .
To receive an Invitation to Apply, you should 1) self-assess your eligibility, and 2) then submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) by 31 st July 2024 . Only selected applications will be invited to apply via the UNSW central portal. Details of what to include in your EOI can be found here .
UNSW’s Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Risk & Actuarial Studies will prepare you to become a globally focused and socially engaged research leader. You’ll join a cohort of high-achieving research students working at the forefront of research in actuarial studies, risk analytics, superannuation and population ageing, alongside leaders in the field (ranked 1st in the UNL Global Research Rankings of Actuarial Science and Risk Management & Insurance TM ). This is your opportunity to become integrated into the UNSW Business School’s community of scholars.
Most admitted students will enter the pathway program, the Master of Pre-Doctoral Business Studies (MPDBS). If you are invited to apply for Direct Entry into a PhD, either before or after successful completion of the MPDBS, then the minimum time commitment is 35-40 hours per week for 3-4 years (full time) or 15 hours a week (part time).
You’ll first undertake rigorous coursework covering risk theory, multivariate models for risks, longevity risk management, data analytics, economic and regulatory capital and investment and asset liability modelling. As part of your PhD program, you’ll also be involved in research projects from an early stage. This training will equip you with the skills required to identify, analyse and solve problems in the field.
You’ll then pursue full-time research under the supervision of high-profile UNSW academics, culminating in a doctoral thesis. There will also be exciting opportunities throughout to interact with industry leaders, and to develop your teaching portfolio. The training is geared toward preparing you for a career in academia, although other career paths (e.g., consulting, government, industry, non-profit) are also enabled.
Your PhD thesis will showcase your research skills and enable you to make an original contribution to your field.
Linked Master of Pre-Doctoral Business Studies (MPDBS) + PhD
Although a few students may be invited to apply for Direct Entry into our PhD program, most applicants are invited to first complete our Master of Pre-Doctoral Business Studies (MPDBS).
The MPDBS is a one-year pathway for students wanting to undertake a PhD in the UNSW Business School. The MPDBS is a fully funded program, which includes a tuition waiver and stipend (of ~A$37K) for all accepted applicants. This degree constitutes one year of advanced coursework including a research project. Upon completion of the MPDBS, the vast majority of students have historically gone on to our PhD with a scholarship covering tuition and a stipend (~ A$47K).
The MPDBS gives students an extra year to develop their research skills and to find a match with appropriate supervisors.
The application processes for both the PhD and the Linked MPDBS + PhD are identical as shown in How to Apply.
Year one: master of pre-doctoral business studies (mpdbs).
Your first year of study is designed to provide a rigorous foundation to conduct independent research. You’ll learn a range of methodologies and build your communication and presentation skills.
Your first year of coursework study will cover fundamental research methods. You’ll also start developing key research skills such as identifying, framing, presenting, and writing academic contributions. You’ll work as a research assistant on faculty research projects and start working on your own research as your skills develop.
The first year will help you identify your potential thesis supervisor for the PhD component of the program. Upon successful completion of the first year, you’ll be awarded a Master of Pre-Doctoral Business Studies. A brief overview of the first year is presented below. Please visit the UNSW Handbook for full course structure details.
During the second year, you’ll continue in the Risk & Actuarial Studies stream with a further year of advanced coursework.
You’ll choose up to eight additional research courses from a range of electives in consultation with your supervisor, with an opportunity to take at least one subject outside of your specialised discipline.
Your second year is also when you’ll identify your thesis topic with your supervisor. You’ll engage in literature review and research design and present your research proposal to the School at the end of the year.
The final two years of the program are focused on conducting full-time research and completing your doctoral thesis. This is your opportunity to address some of the biggest challenges in Risk & Actuarial Studies and make a significant contribution to knowledge in your field. Your research will offer new critical thinking and withstand critical analysis from expert researchers in the area.
As with most other OECD countries, the number of PhD completions in Australia has grown dramatically – more than doubling in the last two decades.
An increasing number of PhD graduates find employment in business, government, and the non-profit sector. Nineteen of the largest ASX companies have PhD graduates on their senior executive teams.
Your PhD thesis will set you on the path to a career in a premier research institution, anywhere in the world. Throughout your research degree, you’ll also have many opportunities to develop your teaching portfolio.
Beyond academia, there is also significant demand in the private and public sectors for people with deep knowledge and sound research and analytical skills*.
Whether you’re looking to pursue a career in academia, or take your research skills out to industry, a PhD in Risk & Actuarial Studies from UNSW will get you there.

The Terry College’s Risk Management and Insurance Program traces its formal beginning to 1965, and in a short period of time it has grown into the largest undergraduate program of its kind in the U.S.
Terry’s Risk Management and Insurance Program is one of the very best, consistently ranking among the top two programs in the country every year since 2006 by U.S. News and World Report.
Our energetic, impassioned faculty members are adept at making textbook material come alive, and to supplement the classroom experience, faculty invite practitioners to serve as guest speakers, bringing real-world experiences and perspective to classroom lessons.
Employers say they value our graduates for their strong analytic skills and for their ability to apply those skills in real business applications. We develop those capabilities in our students through an extensive internship program that typically involves more than 100 students and as many as 80 companies, as well as through applied group and individual projects in the classroom. Terry students are in such demand that the RMI department can require that internships be paid. This typically results in our students being asked to do real work on their internship assignments, where they learn critical professional skills before they even graduate.
Terry’s Risk Management and Insurance Program emphasizes the importance of career placement for its students, making it a top priority. Each year, the department hosts its own Risk & Insurance Careers Day featuring a variety of industry employers (typically more than 50 companies) looking to hire students for full-time and internship positions.
This is just a selection of possible job titles and employers of this major. The UGA Career Center provides a more extensive list .
