पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

Students receive a rigorous mathematical background including all the major courses taken by students majoring in mathematics or statistics. Further, ten courses devoted to finance, economics, applied statistics, insurance and actuarial science are required. Upon completion of this program, a student will have the knowledge and business background necessary to pursue a career as an actuary, as well as to undertake graduate study in actuarial science, statistics, mathematics, economics or finance. Actuaries are professionals who help businesses to assess the risk of certain events occurring. About six out of ten actuaries are employed in the insurance industry. Actuaries assemble and analyze data to estimate the probability and likely cost of the occurrence of an event such as death, sickness, injury, disability or loss of property. It is consistently one of the most secure and highest-paying professions available, even during tough economic times. Annual starting salaries for graduates with a bachelor degree in actuarial science can be as high as $50,000. Jobs in actuarial science include: Corporate and consulting services, especially management and public relations; Security/commodity brokers; Government programs like Social Security and Medicare; and Insurance companies.
