Risk Management in Wharton School

Hey Pals,

Just want to know how the placement is of the Risk Management Department in Wharton. How it ranks in U.S.

Another question is:

In the different field of Business, Finance is the best choice regard to the salary with no doubt. How are the others, like Risk Management?

Thanks for your opinions.

In Statistics, Operations and Risk Management, which one is the best in the long term if one has nearly the same interests in both?

Hi funs2008,

There are not many phd programs in risk management, and wharton probably ranks among the top. If you are interested in industry jobs, you should be able to get a decent one with no problem after you got a phd from wharton. However, since faculty jobs are few in this field, it is not easy to get one in a top school, though teaching school positions are usually available.

I am interested in this topic. Compared to acc or finance,Is applying  for risk management easy ? Should the applicant have statistic backgroud?

Interesting topic. Any more information abt it?

Discussion is welcome.
