Insurance Schools and Colleges in the U.S.

Colleges and schools offering instruction in insurance, also sometimes referred to as risk management, usually do so through a college of business. Students considering insurance schools take into account the type of degree available, internship availabilities, career prospects and tuition cost.

How to Select an Insurance School

Students selecting a school or college for education in insurance typically consider the programs and the degrees they grant. The two most common types of degrees awarded in insurance or risk management are the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). Students may opt for one over another because of specific educational or career goals.
Consider the following also when looking for insurance schools:

• Internships offer students the chance to gain hands-on experience and sometimes earn school credit and often develop into employment opportunities for students after graduation.
• Career prospects are another consideration for students attending insurance schools such as risk analysts, brokers or benefits consultants.
• Public, in-state schools tend to offer students the least expensive tuition, while out-of-state or private universities are typically more costly.
