Recommended Course Sequence

In accordance with the mission of the BS degree program in Mathematics to train the Mathematics major for a career, this concentration prepares the student in the fundamentals of actuarial science and for an actuarial career in the insurance industry. The courses prescribed for the concentration give students background the first four exams (Exam P, Exam FM, Exam M, and Exam C) of the Society of Actuaries.

No grade below “C” in a course required for the major or minor (including cognates and specific electives) will count toward satisfying the course requirement. This policy does not refer to general education requirements or elective courses.

Students in this program are expected to begin with MAT 140 . MAT 130 is intended for students who are not prepared for MAT 140 . MAT 130 counts toward elective credit, not a course in the major.
