“As a current risk management professional, I believe that there has never been more of a need for individuals who possess the skills and training that is provided by the FSRM program. As firms face financial uncertainty, it is imperative for them to employ statistical techniques in the aid risk mitigation strategies. Hence, there is a strong demand for individuals who are proficient at using sophisticated statistical techniques. Additionally, the courses within this program are offered during evenings. Hence, they do not interfere with one's ability to work full time while pursuing the degree. Therefore, I am absolutely certain that the FSRM degree offered by Rutgers University is the best choice for my career.” -Wayne Thompson
