Mathematics Major, Actuarial Track, B.A./B.S.

Pott College of Science, Engineering and Education >> Mathematical Sciences 

70 hours; 2.0 major GPA required

The curriculum leading to a degree in mathematics with an actuarial emphasis is designed to prepare the student for a career as an applied mathematician in the actuarial field or a related field. The validation by educational experiences (VEE) of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) are met by courses in accounting and finance, economics, and mathematical statistics. Individuals may apply for the VEE credit after completion of the required coursework with a minimum grade of B in each course and after passing two SOA/CAS actuarial exams. MATH 438 will provide the foundation for Exam P; MATH 375 will provide the foundation for Exam FM; and STAT 265 and STAT 475 will provide the foundation for Exam SRM.
