Actuarial Science/Management Program


The insurance and financial service industries have a strong need for management prospects who combine analytic and technical skills (related to the department’s actuarial science curriculum) with the leadership capabilities, people skills, and understanding of business practices (which come from advanced education in management). The actuarial science/management program gives its enrolled students capability in this blend of skills and training.

Our graduates are able to command excellent entry-level positions and are strong candidates for fast advancement to upper-level management positions. The actuarial science/management program includes an undergraduate major in actuarial science with a strong component of business theory, followed by a 33-hour MBA program. Enrolled students may choose their graduate courses to gain a concentration in either organizational leadership or finance.
