Areas of Specialization

The Department of Finance offers several areas of specialization. Students may choose to focus in one area of Finance or combine classes from two or more areas to form their own programs of study.

Risk Management and Insurance

The University of Illinois has extraordinary strengths in finance education. We offer a full range of finance curricula, covering not only traditional corporate and investments finance courses but also banking, insurance, and real estate. In insurance, the presence at Illinois of one of the nation's largest and strongest Actuarial Science programs in the Department of Mathematics makes our program unique (see http://www.math.uiuc.edu/ResearchAreas/actsci.html).

Students who are studying for their actuarial exams and find themselves interested in the Finance Department's insurance offerings might want to consult Professor Richard Gorvett (gorvett@uiuc.edu)in the Math Department.
