Actuarial Science Specialization

Applied mathematics skills are in constant demand in the finance and insurance industries. Here at the University of Minnesota, we've designed an undergraduate mathematics program with a specialization in actuarial science to prepare graduates to fulfill this need. This specialization emphasizes a foundation in mathematics, statistics, and programming, and equips students with tools critical for an analytical business professional. Students will gain an understanding of modeling financial products with topics such as actuarial insurance models, financial derivative pricing, and predictive analytics. The program also prepares students for four to six professional qualifying actuarial exams.
