Prof. Sherbert also has a Ph.D. in Mathematics. Prof. Sherbert recently received a campus award for his undergraduate teaching talents. He often teaches interest theory and numerical analysis. Prof. D'Arcy is one of only two FCAS's in the United States to be employed full time in education on a college campus, and his presence makes our program much stronger in the areas of casualty mathematics and finance than most other programs. We believe that the strength of our program is shown not only by the accomplishments of our faculty, but also by the success of our students.
Employers seem to agree.
Every year, almost thirty different firms from across the country come to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to recruit students from our actuarial science program. The great diversity of these companies is a compliment to the diversity of our program. Some of these firms are so committed to the strength of our program that they come to campus many times a year to help our students, our faculty, and the Actuarial Science Club with different needs, as well as to increase their presence on campus.
