The Actuarial Science major is designed for students who have a strong mathematical ability with an interest in applying their mathematical knowledge to insurance, finance, risk management, investments, and other areas of business. The program is classified by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) as an Advanced Undergraduate Actuarial Science program and is in complete compliance with the requirements set forth by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) in the Year 2018 Syllabus and beyond. Therefore, the student can choose coursework necessary to prepare for all the preliminary and foundational SOA/CAS Course/Exams validation by educational experience (VEE) courses and project course in predictive analytics.
Actuarial Science majors preparing for the actuarial examination series and an actuarial science career should complete this professional program in Actuarial Science.
All courses in the Actuarial Science major or minor (including supporting coursework) must be completed with a grade of C (2.00) or better. All courses transferred from other institutions for credit in the Actuarial Science major or minor must carry a grade of C (2.00) or better and be approved by the department chair.
The following specialized courses do not count toward an Actuarial Science major: MATH 1010 , MATH 1410 , MATH 1420 , MATH 1530 , MATH 1630 , MATH 1710 , MATH 1720 , MATH 1730 , MATH 1810 , and MATH 4010 . However, MATH 1630 , MATH 1730 , and MATH 1810 may count toward a minor in Mathematics for Managerial, Social, and Life Sciences.
