This degree is a head start toward becoming an actuary, a specialist who assesses risk and solves financial problems with mathematics, business insight and computing.
The curriculum starts with strong mathematical foundations and moves into the theory of interest and risk, loss modeling and survival analysis. Students also study programming, corporate finance, economics, data science and project management, and may do research with professional actuaries.
Coursework prepares students for preliminary exams from the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society and covers validation-by-education requirements. The university holds Bronze-tier recognition from the Casualty Actuarial Society. With planning, students can earn this degree and a master's in applied statistics within five years. Students can request information or apply from the program page. Graduates are positioned for careers in insurance, finance and consulting, where quantifying uncertainty is the central task.
