We are looking forward to welcome graduate students from the Saudi Arabia.
Increased scrutiny of anti-money laundering policies and practices by international organizations such as
the Financial Action Task Force, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank, as well as by domestic
compliance authorities and law enforcement has resulted in a vast increase in demand for experts by both
private and public sectors.
In response, Case Western Reserve University is offering a new masters degree designed for those
involved in implementing anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism, counter-proliferation financing
policies. Taught by leading academics and practitioners from international organizations and domestic
authorities around the world, the masters program will be the first of its kind offered by a major research
university.
The course of study covers the Financial Action Task Force’s 40 Recommendations as well as the best
practices on implementation. It is designed for students with at least three years of experience in financial
integrity practice or a related field. Individuals who complete the course will gain exceptional expertise
into each aspect of anti-money laundering preventive measures, including customer on-boarding, account
monitoring, and suspicious transaction reporting, as well as the investigation of possible criminal activity,
the prosecution of such crimes, and the recovery of criminal proceeds. The master’s program emphasizes
on professional decision-making and critical analysis that are essential to designing and implementing an
effective financial integrity program, whether in financial institutions, their regulators, or law enforcement.
A key part of the program is a supervised capstone research project that addresses a current problem in the
student’s practice to be presented to a panel of senior regulatory and law enforcement officials from the
U.S, Europe, and Asia.
The program will accept up to 25 students per year.
A professional Advisory Committee, chaired by the former Executive Secretary of the Financial Action
Task Force, oversees the design and implementation of the course of study.
Please review the program, courses and faculty on our site.
