Mathematics Major: Actuarial Science

Everything in life comes down to probability. What is the chance that something does or doesn't happen? What are the risks involved? How are statistics applied? If these are the questions you find yourself asking, consider studying Actuarial Science. As an actuarial science major, you'll be involved in discovering the relationships between probability, mathematics, statistics, finance and economics. Upon graduating, you will be prepared to assess risk within a wide range of industries — from finance to computer programming. Your track in mathematics will get you ready for the first two exams of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society — Probability and Financial Mathematics. To support your future endeavors, we also encourage Actuarial Science majors to take business courses such as managerial finance, investments and accounting.
