Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) major, offered through the Asper School of Business, applies mathematical disciplines, particularly probability, statistics, and risk theory, to financial problems involving future uncertainty. After completing the shared business core, students can declare the major from the beginning of third year with a minimum 2.00 Degree Grade Point Average, requiring as few as four actuarial courses to do so; a double-major with another subject is possible. The four-year, campus-based program includes a co-op option and access to international exchange with more than 60 partner business schools, along with support from the university's business library actuarial exam materials and the Warren Centre for Actuarial Studies and Research. It suits students interested in quantifying financial risk for careers in insurance, pension and benefits consulting, banking, government, or actuarial research and teaching.
