Course descriptionThe Program in General Insurance (INS) provides a solid foundation upon which to build your career in insurance. Hofstra University, in cooperation with the Long Island CPCU, provides classes in preparation for the national examinations for the Program in General Insurance (INS) designation. This program has been developed by the Insurance Institute of America and is recommended for people in all insurance and insurance-related occupations who require an understanding of insurance contracts and functions, experienced insurance personnel who have a knowledge of insurance practices but who have no formal study of the insurance principles that underlie those practices, and college students majoring in insurance and risk management who want to establish a tie to the insurance business.
The program's three courses - Property and Liability Insurance Principles (INS 21), Personal Insurance (INS 22), and Commercial Insurance (INS 23) - are actually some of the core requirements of several certificate and associate programs ... most involving only three or four courses, such as the Associate in Insurance Services (AIS), Associate in Personal Insurance (API) and the Associate in Commercial Underwriting.
