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.<\/p>\n\n\n

Start your Actuarial Career by taking a BA degree in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science<\/a>\u00a0or a BS Degree in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science<\/a>. We also offer an MS degree in Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Statistics<\/a> and an Undergraduate Certificate in Actuarial Studies<\/a>. Students in this program are also eligible to receive this Certificate in Actuarial Studies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Our program is ranked as UCAP – Advanced Curriculum<\/strong> by the SOA Listing of Academic Actuarial Science Programs. We currently offer courses for six Actuarial exams (P, FM, FAM, ALTAM, SRM) required for admission to the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS). A major in Mathematics for the BA degree with a concentration in Actuarial Science consists of a minimum of 34 semester hours in mathematics and statistics courses and 18 semester hours from the Belk College of Business. In addition all students must meet the general education requirements of the University (See Catalog<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
