The Financial Compliance and Risk Management Programs are designed to provide financial services professionals with the knowledge and skills to navigate the rapidly evolving industry. With financial technology, the blockchain, the gig economy, and big tech's continued growth, corporations need regulatory- and policy-minded professionals now more than ever.

We offer a rigorous curriculum that blends financial services topics with general corporate compliance studies. All courses are taught by faculty who are thought leaders in the fields of banking, insurance, wealth management, financial technology, energy, corporate governance, and more.

• The financial services industry is growing and is currently at 20% of the U.S. GDP, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
• The blockchain market — alone — is expected to grow by nearly 70% in the next five years, according to Markets and Markets.

At Albany Law the faculty support you and find time for you. You’re not just a number and this is what drew me here: The school size, the location, and the ability to do work online and still have interactions and relationships with the faculty.
