Statistics
The Actuarial Science MS focuses on actuarial science and its application to insurance and risk management. The program is particularly suited for individuals who have completed an undergraduate program in business, economics, mathematics, statistics, or other related fields, and wish to pursue a career in actuarial science. Actuaries are risk scientists who assess historical data, government regulations, and consumer tendencies to forecast the frequency and consequences of future events.
Due to a hiring freeze and the departure of 2 actuarial science faculty members, the Actuarial Science Program at the graduate level will not be admitting new students for the 2009-10 academic year.
