MAGR Student Information
MAGR Program Schedules
The MA in Global Risk (online) is a part-time, cohort-based program that is completed over 21 months in the fall or 18 months in the spring through a sequence of 12 courses (50-credit hours). The coursework covers statistics, economics, risk modeling, global markets and risk in different regions of the world.
The curriculum has been designed to prepare graduates to better understand the greater context around risk and critically evaluate risk management strategies. In addition to online coursework, the program features two one-of-a-kind residencies, giving students the opportunity to connect in-person with their cohort and other members of the Johns Hopkins SAIS community, as well as participate in rich experiential learning opportunities.
