Students are required to complete courses offered by the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy (MPAS), the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Political Science and Economics and the Ed G. Smith College of Business. Students take coursework in calculus, financial mathematics, statistics, economics, econometrics, and finance. The program is designed to provide students with a solid preparation to take exams and to complete validation by educational experience requirements needed to begin a career as an actuary.  \nCertificate in Actuarial Studies  \nThe Certificate in Actuarial Studies is designed to provide the education needed for entry level employment in the actuarial profession.  \nCareer Outlook in Actuarial Science  \nGraduates with this skill set are hired by insurance firms, consulting firms, and financial institutions. Actuarial training is also transferable to broader jobs in data science and analytics. Job prospects for those with actuarial degrees are expected to remain strong over the next decade.  \nFor more information on careers in actuarial science, visit the website of the Society of Actuaries.  \nGeneral Education Requirements  \nStudents must satisfy the university general education requirements.  \nMany of the courses for the degree may be used to fulfill math proficiency, information literacy, social science, and math and life/natural sciences requirements. There is no foreign language requirement for the degree.  \nSatisfactory/Unsatisfactory Option  \nCourses required for the major may not be taken on a satisfactory/ unsatisfactory basis.  \nRequired Courses  \nCandidates for the B.S. in Actuarial Science degree must complete a program of 62 credit hours of required courses. Each required course must be completed with a grade of C-or better and students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 for courses required for the degree.  \nCourse Number Title Hours  \nACCTNG 2400 Fundamentals of Financial 3  \nAccounting  \nCMP SCI 1250 Introduction to Computing 3  \nECON 1001 Principles of Microeconomics 3  \n(MOTR ECON 102)  \nECON 1002 Principles of Macroeconomics 3  \n(MOTR ECON 101)  \nECON 4100 Introduction to Econometrics 4  \nECON 4120 Time Series Econometrics for  \nEconomics and Finance  \nor ECON 4130 Business and Economic Forecasting  \n4  \nFINANCE 2500 Financial Management 3  \n\n| FINANCE 3520 | Investments | 3 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| FINANCE 3521 | Financial Engineering: Applying Derivatives | 3 |\n| INFSYS 2800 | Information Systems Concepts and Applications | 3 |\n| MATH 1800 | Analytic Geometry and Calculus I | 5 |\n| MATH 1900 | Analytic Geometry and Calculus II | 5 |\n| MATH 2000 | Analytic Geometry and Calculus III | 5 |\n| MATH 1320 | Introduction to Probability and Statistics | 3 |\n| or ECON 3100 | Economic Data and Statistics |  |\n| MATH 4010 | Financial Mathematics I | 3 |\n| MATH 4020 | Financial Mathematics II | 3 |\n| MATH 4200 | Mathematical Statistics I | 3 |\n| MATH 4210 | Mathematical Statistics II | 3 |\n| Total Hours 62\u003Cbr>Recommended Courses\u003Cbr>Students are strongly encouraged to take as many of the following courses as possible.\u003Cbr>Course Number Title Hours\u003Cbr>CMP SCI 2250 Programming and Data Structures 3 |  |  |\n| ECON 3001 | Intermediate Microeconomics | 3 |\n| ECON 3002 | Intermediate Macroeconomics | 3 |\n| ECON 4995 | Internship in Actuarial Science | 1-3 |\n| or MATH 4995 | Internship in Actuarial Science |  |\n| FINANCE 3561 | Principles of Insurance | 3 |\n| MATH 2450 | Elementary Linear Algebra | 3 |\n\nLearning Outcomes  \nUpon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:  \n• Learn basic programming techniques for use in actuarial applications.  \n• Understand the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics and how those concepts are applied in present and accumulated values for various streams o","cbCaiglLRpTUike6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiglLRpTUike6","pdf",26693,"English","# Program Overview\n## Certificate in Actuarial Studies\n## Career Outlook\n# Degree Requirements\n## General Education Requirements\n## Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Option\n## Required Courses\n## Recommended Courses\n# Learning Outcomes\n# Sample Four Year Plan\n## First Year\n## Second Year\n## Third Year\n## Fourth Year","[{\"question\":\"What subjects and skills does the Actuarial Science B.S. emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"The program emphasizes calculus, financial mathematics, statistics, economics, econometrics, and finance, along with foundational programming techniques for actuarial applications.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the degree requirements for the B.S. in Actuarial Science?\",\"answer\":\"Students must complete 62 credit hours of required courses, earn at least a C- in each required course, and maintain a 2.0 GPA for required courses.\"},{\"question\":\"What do students learn by the end of the program?\",\"answer\":\"Graduates can apply probability tools for risk assessment, use statistical inference for actuarial modeling, analyze and forecast time series with regression models, and apply actuarial models to insurance and other financial risks.\"}]","Actuarial Science BS - Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Actuarial Science | PDF",1790491030]
