Overview

With the Actuarial Science concentration, you will take the traditional courses required of math majors plus eight business courses in finance, economics, and accounting to round out your knowledge.

There are two paths or specializations to pursue within the study of Actuarial Science: life and health insurance or home and auto. Don’t worry about picking your preference now; Mount Saint Mary College's courses will prepare you for both options!

In order to become an actuary, you have to pass a series of exams, but you can begin working in the field after passing the first two. These two exams can even be taken while you're still a student, and your professors will be happy to help mentor you as you study for them

Why study Actuarial Science?

Math + Actuarial Science = Marketability: Our Actuarial Science program is a concentration within the Mathematics major. That means that you’ll be getting two specialities in one degree (employers love this kind of versatility!). Plus, having a strong background in math is vital to understanding actuarial science.
VEE credits: In order to become a certified actuary, you need to take a series of exams and two-three courses that are “Validation by Educational Experience” (VEE) courses. The Mount’s Actuarial Science courses are VEE certified, so you can already check off requirements just by completing the concentration!
One-on-one: The Actuarial Science program offers small class sizes and individualized attention from professors. They’re ready to help you study for two of the actuarial exams that can be taken senior year, and you’ll benefit from the expertise of both our Math and Business professors.
