Mathematics, Actuarial Science Concentration, B.A.

Program Overview

Actuarial Science is an important field of Applied Mathematics. It requires Mathematical and Statistical skills to study and analyze uncertain events in the insurance and financial fields. An Actuary needs to know Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Interest Theory, etc. In addition, an Actuary has to learn some Finance, Accounting, Economics, and some other topics in Insurance.

Coursework in this program provides students with the core foundation for several of the professional actuarial exams. Required courses in economics, finance, and applied statistical methods also meet the Society of Actuaries requirements for Validation by Educational Experience (VEE).
