BBA Business: Actuarial Science

Actuarial science involves the construction and management of insurance and pension systems using knowledge from statistics/data science, mathematics, economics, finance, and computer science. The field of actuarial science centers on data analytics for risk assessment. The Actuarial Science major curriculum prepares students for careers with insurance companies, consulting firms, healthcare organizations, and government organizations. Courses offered cover the material of the preliminary examinations of the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries as well as more advanced subjects such as regression analysis, health analytics, and machine learning. Some of our actuarial courses allow students to earn credit for their professional exams by earning a minimum score in those courses (without taking the professional exam). While it is not required for students to sit for actuarial exams, more than 90% of our students will sit for at least two professional exams before they graduate.
