COURSE CURRICULUM

The Actuarial Science program at the University of Windsor offers a comprehensive curriculum covering both undergraduate and graduate-level courses designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required in the actuarial profession. Core courses include Theory of Interest, Derivative Markets, Life Contingencies, and Short Term Actuarial Models, providing a solid foundation in financial mathematics, risk assessment, and insurance mathematics. The curriculum also emphasizes applied statistical and analytical skills through courses such as Regression and Time Series, and Mathematical Statistics for Actuarial Science. Students gain a strong understanding of economic principles with Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, which support decision-making in financial and insurance contexts. Advanced courses at the 8000 level, including Probability for Risk and Actuarial Science and Derivatives Markets II, prepare students for professional actuarial examinations and practical applications. The program culminates in the Actuarial Science Capstone Project, where students integrate theoretical knowledge and practical problem-solving skills in a real-world or simulated setting. The structured progression from 3000 and 4000-level courses to 8000-level courses ensures that students develop both foundational and advanced competencies in actuarial methods, financial theory, risk management, and statistical modeling, making them well-prepared for careers in insurance, finance, consulting, or further professional certification.
