Do you love a campfire? This class has campfires!

Think you know risk? Think again.

Every day, you make a thousand tiny gambles. From the food you choose to the person you trust, you are a walking, talking risk management engine.

In this honors seminar, we strip risk management of its dry, corporate reputation and bring it back to where it belongs: the human experience. This isn't about spreadsheets and project margins; it’s about the philosophy and the psychology of why we jump—or why we freeze.

Why This Class is a Student Favorite:

• Big Questions, Real Answers: We dive into the deep end of philosophy. What does it mean to live a "safe" life? Is uncertainty a threat or an invitation?
• Beyond the Four Walls: This isn't a "sit and stare" class. You’ll engage in immersive activities and out-of-classroom experiences designed to spark visceral discussions.
• A Tight-Knit Community: Because of the nature of our activities, you won't just know your classmates' names—you’ll get to understand the people in class, how they think, how they react, and how they lead.
• Out of class experiences: We apply high-level risk management theory to global projects, then immediately flip the lens to your own life. You’ll learn about navigating uncertainty with the soul of a philosopher.

"Risk management is something all humans do, but we do not all do it well."

Are you ready to stop reacting to life and start navigating it? Join us for a semester of thoughtful immersion, psychological discovery, and the kind of challenges you’ll be talking about long after graduation.
