What type of jobs can you move into after completion?
There are a variety of different opportunities this degree can open up to you. Utica's program provides professionals the training and resources necessary to advance into high-level fraud management and law enforcement positions. This degree can open opportunities in auditing, compliance, risk management, economic crimes and anti-money laundering, to name a few.

What type of experience do I need to enter the program?
All applicants need to have at least 2 years of fraud-related experience. Typical backgrounds include fraud investigations, law enforcement, loss prevention managers, military police personnel, auditors and compliance officers, etc.

Why is there a residency?
There are two residency requirements. The residencies are completed the first and third semester on our campus in Utica, NY. The residencies are designed to meet three needs: give you the ability to experience a classroom environment using state-of-the-art technology available on campus, network with other professionals in your cohort, and accomplish any coursework that would be otherwise very challenging online.
