Risk Management and Insurance Concentration

ECU graduates can expect to find employment with these companies both in sales and service positions. The second is an insurance company career, working to create and service the actual insurance products used by firms and individuals to reduce the financial impact of losses. The most common entry-level positions with insurers are underwriter and claims/loss adjuster. Third is the risk management profession. The risk manager of a company anticipates possible losses and develops a plan to survive them. Employment opportunities in a corporate risk management department include risk analyst, loss control specialist, and claims manager.
