IN-RESIDENCE EXPERIENCES
The Butler MSRI program includes two required in-residence experiences that occur at the beginning and end of the program. Each August, a new MSRI cohort will start the program on the beautiful Butler campus. During the multi-day experience, students will see Butler’s state-of-the-art facilities, participate in sessions led by nationally recognized faculty, and network with top executives from Indianapolis insurance firms. Through a Capstone Experience at the end of the program, students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to the Butler University captive, university coverages or another real-life business case. They will also network with some of the best insurance leaders in the world, located in Burlington, Vermont, which is home to over 600 captives.
Why Butler’s MSRI Program?
HEAR IT FROM OUR ALUMNI.
“In my mind, returning to academics and obtaining a Master’s in Risk and Insurance really tied my knowledge base together. It opened doors and further sharpened my knowledge and abilities. I also completed coursework as part of the degree that counted towards earning the CRM, CPCU, and ACI designations.”
Nathan Logan, MSRI, CRM, CSP, CFPS, ARM, AIS
Senior Risk Engineer, MSIG USA
“I felt like I was missing the fundamentals of my role: contract negotiations, renewal strategies, and basic accounting. When I saw the Butler program, I thought, ‘this is exactly what I need.’ It’s a comprehensive course of everything you could touch as a risk manager and a crash course in insurance.”
Jen Blair, MSRI, MBA Director of Property & Casualty and Product Development, WBN
“I am a self-proclaimed insurance nerd. That term is becoming more and more popular as people seek out degrees and specializations in insurance. I eat, sleep, and drink insurance. Butler presented an opportunity to be amongst and learn from my kind. I liken it to my very own Comic Con.”
Tabitha Richardson, MSRI, CIC, CRM, CRIS, CISR, ASCR Director of Product and Market Development – Financial Services, WebCE
