MS in Insurance Management (Online)
The MS in Insurance Management is a unique opportunity for professionals who have acquired the CPCU credential to achieve further distinction by complementing their demonstrated expertise in insurance issues with a mastery of general management principles in accounting, finance, operations, and leadership. By completing just eight courses, holders of the CPCU credential will gain the advanced management knowledge required to handle high-level responsibilities and to achieve career advancement.
Prerequisites
Students must hold the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters (CPCU) designation in order to earn the master’s. Boston University recognizes the CPCU as the equivalent of four graduate-level courses.

Good Standing
No grade lower than B- may be used toward degree, diploma, or certificate requirements. Students below a 3.0 cumulative GPA are on academic probation status. After being placed on probation students must, the following semester, make satisfactory progress toward achieving a minimum of 3.0 and be in a position to graduate with a 3.0 or better within the remaining program courses. Students who, in the determination of the department and based on past student performance, are not in a position to raise their GPA to the necessary level to graduate within the remaining courses, will be terminated from the program. Students who have not removed themselves from academic probation status after one semester for full-time status or three courses for part-time status will be terminated from the program.
