Introduction to SoMSS  \nThe School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (SoMSS) in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU) o􀀋ersan advanced academic program leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree in actuarial science. Actuarial science involves applying mathematical and statistical concepts to the disciplines of risk management, 􀀌nance, and insurance. The program will guide students' development of professional competencies through coursework, independent projects, and opportunities outside of the classroom, while remaining 􀀌rmly based on a strong foundation of scholarly technical work in actuarial science. It will emphasize broad awareness and appreciation of current issues faced by insurance industry practitioners as well as innovative resolutions provided by actuaries.  \nActuaries must pass a series of intensive professional exams to become credentialed, and this degree program prepares students for these credentialing exams. These credentialing exams are not required for the degree, but prepare students for certi􀀌cation and allow for membership in the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) .  \nThe program requires 30 credit hours of actuarial science or related graduate coursework, and includes an applied project.
