Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Actuarial Science] From University of St. Thomas

Actuarial science education equips students with strong mathematical problem-solving skills that can be applied to business careers. The major requirements consist of courses in mathematics, actuarial science, computer science, business, economics and a course in communication. Coupled with a firm foundation in the liberal arts, this major provides a sound grounding in analytical problem-solving and communication skills.

This program prepares students for a variety of careers with insurance companies, consulting firms, financial institutions, industrial corporations, or government agencies. It also provides a good preparation for non-actuarial careers in banking, finance, or insurance. In addition, the statistical background developed by an actuarial student is valuable in a variety of other fields.

Students graduating with a major in Actuarial Science will become proficient in basic mathematics through multivariate calculus and probability together with basic notions of insurance and risk management. They will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and critically in solving problems related to the analysis and management of risk. They will be able to effectively communicate technical and non-technical information to their peers and to non-specialists in their work environment.
