“Mergers and acquisitions in the insurance distribution system are rising. Banks are increasingly entering portions of the insurance marketplace,” said Weili Lu, director of the Center for Insurance Studies. “Many small agents, brokers, community banks are being crowded by consolidation. We’re offering this program to help cope with the challenge that these smaller businesses are facing.”

The Center for Insurance Studies, part of the university’s College of Business and Economics, was established to attract and educate talented individuals committed to professional careers in the insurance and financial services industry.
