Actuarial Science Minor
Coordinator: James Parson
An actuary is someone who uses knowledge of mathematics and finance to manage financial uncertainty. Actuaries work for insurance companies, for private corporations, for the government, and as consultants. Being an actuary is consistently ranked as one of the best jobs in America – where people are happiest and best-paid. The goal of this minor is to help prepare students to be an actuary.
