COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Mathematics program combines rigorous coursework in mathematics, statistics, finance, economics, and computer science to prepare students for careers in actuarial science and related quantitative fields. The major requires foundational courses such as calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics, and differential equations, alongside specialized actuarial courses including Mathematical Theory of Interest, Actuarial Mathematics I and II, and Stochastic Actuarial Models. Students must also complete applied courses in finance, accounting, and econometrics to develop analytical and business skills. Electives allow students to tailor their education, including mathematics electives like applied statistics, statistical learning, mathematical optimization, and numerical methods, as well as computer science electives covering programming, algorithms, databases, and software development. Allied area electives expand learning into related disciplines such as advanced accounting, operations management, finance, economics, biology, chemistry, physics, and geographic information systems, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary exploration. In addition to the major, students fulfill general education and college requirements, including communication, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, foreign language, and Kent Core composition courses, ensuring well-rounded development. Practical experience is emphasized through internships and research opportunities, helping students apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. Overall, the program requires a minimum of 120 credit hours, including 39 upper-division credits, preparing graduates with strong analytical, technical, and professional skills to succeed in actuarial careers or pursue advanced studies in mathematics, statistics, finance, or related fields.
