Admissions Overview

The admissions process is thorough and selective but also highly attentive to your holistic candidacy and the qualities that you will bring to the MSRM cohort. Because the program is designed specifically for experienced and high-potential professionals in the risk management arena, a candidate's record of professional achievement is the most critical factor in determining admission.
 


Admissions Criteria

To apply to the MSRM Program you must have a Bachelor degree and strong GPA, with a minimum of five years of full time professional work experience and demonstrated interest or experience in the field of risk management.

Admissions Process

Early Admissions Deadline: September 15, 2013
The early admissions deadline is for candidates who are confident that the MSRM Program is the best fit for their higher education and professional objectives and who want to be considered at the most advantageous stage in the admissions process.

Early admissions candidates who are offered admission have up to four weeks to submit their tuition deposit to secure their place in the class. 

Rolling Admissions

MSRM applications are reviewed and decisions are released year-round until the class is full, at which point we start a waitlist . As the class does fill, it is in your best interest to submit your application as soon as possible as admittance becomes more competitive throughout the admissions cycle. The MSRM Program commences each May with the next class starting in May 2014.

Process

After an application is submitted online, applicants that are short-listed move to a selection interview with a member of the Admissions Committee. After all application materials are collected, a decision is released. On average, a decision is released within two weeks of a completed application.
