Risk management professionals often want to advance in their careers but struggle to find convenient educational opportunities to do so. The Glenn Department of Civil Engineering offers a risk management certification program designed to provide the specialized knowledge and skills organizations need in today’s complex risk environment. Certificate-holders will gain meaningful working knowledge of engineering risk management that can be applied to their current or future jobs quickly.

The Risk Management Certificate online curriculum was designed with busy, working professionals in mind. Courses are offered in 12-week terms and are taught by industry professionals working alongside university professors. Students can opt to earn the Risk Management Certificate alone, or pair it with the Risk Engineering Certificate and a capstone experience to earn a Masters in Engineering in the Risk Engineering and Systems Analytics program.
