The FRM is an advanced designation specifically for risk managers and others who want to further their education and improve their risk management skills. To take courses, the student must first apply and be accepted by the Global Risk Management Institute. All students taking seven or more courses through the Extension Study program need to complete a residency requirement. The Institute enables students to interact with faculty members and other students, fulfill residency requirements, identify with the University, and experience the beauty of Salve Regina's campus. Alternatively, those students who are close enough to campus to commute, may take a course on campus at any time to meet their residency requirement.
Students have six months to complete each course.
Students normally register for up to two courses at a time. The transfer policy may allow up to 40 percent of the program credit requirements. They come from leading doctoral, M.B.A., and law programs and represent a wide variety of backgrounds. Their superior teaching skills, academic training and research, and knowledge of practical application bring a wealth of experience to the curriculum. Admission Men and women with bachelor's degrees from accredited institutions of higher learning who are considered to have the ability to pursue graduate study and show a desire for personal development are admitted following a careful evaluation of their credentials, without regard to age, race, sex, creed, national or ethnic origin, or handicap.
