COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences with a focus on Actuarial Science provides a rigorous, four-year program designed to develop both strong mathematical foundations and practical analytical skills for assessing risk in financial and business contexts. In the first year, students build essential skills in college composition, computer science, calculus, statistics, and natural sciences, establishing a foundation for advanced quantitative study. The second year introduces discrete mathematics, linear algebra, differential equations, and university-level physics, complemented by electives in social sciences, accounting, and seminars that foster analytical thinking and communication skills. In the third year, the curriculum emphasizes applied mathematics and statistics, including advanced calculus, probability, statistical methods, mathematical modeling, data science, and economics, preparing students for complex problem-solving in financial contexts. The program also integrates professional communication and preparation for actuarial exams, ensuring readiness for industry standards. In the final year, students focus on advanced topics such as numerical analysis and specialized courses in finance or management, alongside a two-semester senior project that synthesizes theoretical knowledge and practical application. Electives in psychology, social sciences, literature, and general studies support interdisciplinary growth and well-rounded analytical perspectives. Throughout the program, students gain experience with computational tools, data analysis, and mathematical modeling, essential for actuarial practice. By combining a strong mathematical core with applied problem-solving, economic and financial literacy, and professional development, the curriculum equips graduates with the skills to pursue careers in insurance, finance, consulting, and risk management, as well as the professional certifications required for actuaries. Overall, this program balances theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and professional readiness, ensuring students emerge as skilled, versatile, and analytical thinkers capable of navigating complex, data-driven financial environments and contributing meaningfully to decision-making in business and policy.
