As Brett notes, a specific MSCE degree in risk mitigation seems , if not surprising, perhaps strange, but that is due to my dated experience.
For a very highly specialized business application, it may well-be valuable, I simply am, obviously, ignorant of it.
But I wish to take this opportunity to note that in my experiences with projects and risk assessments of all types, the only cost-effective times to apply that exercise are:
1. Prior to signing a contract to perform project work.
2. Prior to passing the 5% complete mark of a contracted project.
In my limited experiences, such rigorous risk applications are rarely done.
As a result, projects are budgeted with profit percentages of 20 to 35%, and when done,
if 3 to 5% profits result, a celebration is held.
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Rasoul. This seems like a very unique and specialized Masters Degree. Is there a University offering it? If you can provide a link that would be nice. My job focus is disaster mitigation planning and projects which is one type of risk mitigation. I wonder if you are asking about specializing in risk mitigation for your research or thesis topic. Getting a unique degree that combines civil engineering and risk mitigation would be surprising to me. Thanks,
