Overview
This pioneer program incorporates traditional and innovative modeling techniques, but aims to situate this knowledge within the larger context of business strategy and risk management.

Graduates of this program will enhance their academic capabilities and credentials in an area of expertise that is fundamental to sustainable performance of their organizations.
