Why Actuarial Science?
Actuaries are business professionals who analyze the financial consequences of risk. A career in actuarial science is hard to beat. Organizations, such as CNN Money, consistently rate being an actuary as one of the best jobs in America, based upon categories such as work environment, employment outlook, job security, growth opportunity, and salary (especially salary). To become an actuary, an individual must pass a series of examinations to earn the actuarial designation. The Actuarial Science major prepares students for the first two exams, which when passed, starts the student on the path to becoming an actuary.
