Life Insurance is a fundamental topic in the field of Risk Management & Insurance. Perhaps slightly misleading to the newcomer, the term “Life Insurance” actually spans a range of insurance policies that pertain to, yes, mortality, but also to morbidity and longevity. The purpose of this course is to explore the range of life insurance, including disability coverages, healthcare coverage, annuities and other savings and longevity coverages. In the course of exploring these various policies, students will have exposure to the inner workings of life insurance companies, life insurance pricing, life insurance law and regulation, and the various uses and purposes of these coverages. Additionally, owing to its critical role in life contingencies in the US, social insurance is introduced and reviewed. 2 credits.
