Description

There is significant demand, especially in regulated industries, for individuals with a strong understanding of corporate risk management, compliance, governance, social responsibility and sustainability – and a specific need for leaders with knowledge and skills across these critical functions, which are seldom optimally aligned in organizations. The graduate certificate in Strategic Risk and Responsibility aims to explore the interconnectivity and influence of these key areas to improve managerial decisions and strategic planning, while providing students with the fundamentals of risk evaluation and decision theory, reputation management, corporate governance, compliance programs and processes, and organizational business ethics—with particular attention paid to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and resilience.
