BA Insurance Concentration

The insurance concentration is open to all undergraduate students. For the most part, with their own extensive training programs, insurance companies do not seek college students with an in-depth insurance education. Rather companies seek bright students who regardless of their major have a basic knowledge of the concepts and efficient uses of insurance and are interested in discussing opportunities for employment in the industry. Unlike the extensive insurance programs at other schools that are limited to business students, Drake s insurance concentration is open to, and attracts, students from throughout the university regardless of their major. That the program provides adequate preparation for initial employment in the industry is reflected not only in the comments received from students who have accepted jobs in the industry, but also the growing demand for Drake graduates exhibited by companies throughout the industry.
