The Actuarial Mathematics major is designed to offer, within a liberal arts framework, coursework to prepare for an actuarial career.

The Actuarial Mathematics major consists of a core 14 courses and two semesters of non-credit colloquia. The curriculum consists of coursework in Economics, Accounting, Business, and Mathematics. A sampling of courses includes Multivariable Calculus, Elementary Accounting, Microeconomics, Introduction to Computer Science, Introduction to Numerical Analysis, Real Analysis, and Topics in Actuarial Mathematics.

At the time of completion of all major requirements, a student should be prepared to sit for up to four of the examinations of the Society of Actuaries. It is strongly recommended that the student complete as many of the actuarial examinations as possible prior to graduation.

The Society of Actuaries gives VEE (Validation by Educational Experience) credit for a grade of at least B- in coursework in the areas of Economics, Applied Statistical Methods, and Corporate Finance. Information about credit in the areas of Applied Statistical Methods and Corporate Finance can be obtained from the coordinator for the actuarial mathematics major.
