This major prepares students for a career path in the insurance industry, as well as for a series of actuarial examinations. These examinations test an individual’s competence in probability, calculus, statistics, and other branches of mathematics. The first few examinations allow students to evaluate their potential as actuaries. The Actuarial Studies major helps them to prepare for the first of these examinations, and teaches them the skills that will be necessary to progress through the more advanced examinations. Students also gain business skills through the business fundamentals courses.
