About the Program
Actuarial science is a multidisciplinary topic including statistics, mathematics and some social science such as economics and finance, sociology and public health. As the main branch of actuarial science, insurance statistics applies statistical and mathematical models to perform data analyses, in order to assess risks and uncertainty in insurance, finance and other industries. This certificate program is designed to prepare students to enter the actuarial professions. Upon the completion of this program, students will be better prepared to take the professional examinations such as EXAM P: Probability and EXAM S: Statistics and Probabilistic Models, given by Society of Actuaries (SOA) and Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS).
