BS Actuarial Science

Preparing for the future and counting the cost are both wise applications of biblical principles, and they describe what actuaries do on a regular basis.

Through BJU’s actuarial science program, you’ll develop the critical mathematical and analytical skills necessary for a successful career as an actuary. More importantly, you’ll learn how competence, integrity and humility are essential in an industry of managing risk and how you can use your career in actuarial science for the good of others and the glory of God.

Mitigating and managing risk are both essential parts of successful business, especially in the insurance industry, multinational corporations and financial planning. As a result, people with an actuarial science education are in very high demand.

BJU’s challenging actuarial science program equips you for the rigors of this field and develops the essential skills you’ll need to become an effective actuary.

Throughout your program, you’ll learn about the risks encountered in business and how to apply mathematics to understand and begin to mitigate those risks. Key to your success will be our emphasis on mathematical theory. At BJU, you will go beyond the basics and learn why math works—not simply how it works. This emphasis will give you an edge in the field and prepare you to understand complex relationships, balance interrelated data and take into account complicated risk factors.
