    Actuarial Science

    Actuarial science is the science – and art – of using mathematics, statistics, and the principles of economics and finance to analyze the financial costs of risk and uncertainty.

    Actuarial scientists, commonly called actuaries, build actuarial models to determine the likelihood of numerous risk factors that every business and organization faces. They then use these models to anticipate future events and take preventative measures.

    Students of actuarial science are trained in the fundamental and practical tools they will need to work in this complicated field of financial risk and become the next generation of risk specialists.
