Actuarial Science is a common career choice for students with excellent mathematical
ability.
The 21-credit, 6-course minor is an opportunity for interested students to earn a
credential that shows potential employers they have the background to be successful
as an actuary. The program is for students who love math, statistics, data, and most
importantly, a challenge.
This program will allow students to complete all the necessary courses that correspond
to the requirements of the probability and financial mathematics exams of national
and international actuarial societies.
Actuaries use mathematics to study uncertain future events. They answer questions
like “how much money do we need to invest now to meet our pension obligations in the
future?” and “what insurance rate do we need to make the required payouts?”
Actuary has consistently been rated among the best careers. Learn more about what an actuary does.
ESU’s mathematics department faculty includes a Ph.D. in Analysis and a Ph.D. in Statistics
who have successfully prepared students for actuarial exams.
