Where math and business intersect

If you're good at mathematics and interested in business, a career in actuarial science is a path to consider.

Actuaries analyze data and assess risk. They are most often associated with the insurance industry, but actuaries work in many kinds of businesses. The profession is consistently one of the most secure and highest-paying available, even during tough economic times.

Our program also prepares you for the first five professional actuarial credentialing exams (Exam P, Exam FM, Exam IFM, Exam LTAM or Exam STAM).
