Many colleges have graduates who have become actuaries. Lebanon Valley has an established and respected program with graduates employed by more than 50 firms. At least 65 graduates have earned professional designations, including 34 Fellows and 29 Associates of the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society, and 20 enrolled actuaries.
Many colleges claim to offer actuarial science programs.
Lebanon Valley College is the only small, four-year liberal arts college, having a sufficiently extensive curriculum to be listed by the Society of Actuaries as offering an Actuarial Science Program. Our faculty includes an Associate of the Society of Actuaries who is a member of the Society of Actuaries Career Encouragement Committee. This means that LVC will be among the first schools to adapt to the new actuarial exams which are scheduled to be in place by the year 2000. Every faculty member in the Department of Mathematical Sciences is aware of the educational expectations of the actuarial profession. Our curriculum includes a course in the Theory of Interest, two courses in Actuarial Mathematics, and a course in Casualty Actuarial topics.
