Approximately half the 120 semester hours required for the undergraduate degree in business are provided by study in the liberal arts, sciences, humanities, and fine arts. An actuarial science major is offered through the Department of Mathematics. The major is designed to prepare actuaries for work in the insurance industry or as consultants dealing with the risk of potential financial losses. Graduates of the program are prepared for an actuarial career in either the property and casualty field or the life and health field. The actuarial curriculum is balanced to provide the content for some professional exams conducted by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries.
Students have an opportunity to complete a full-time, paid internship during their senior years.
