Key Summary

About : The Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science program focuses on essential actuarial principles and techniques. Students will learn to assess risk and uncertainty using mathematical and statistical methods. The curriculum includes subjects like probability, economics, finance, and advanced statistics, preparing students for professional actuarial examinations.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths such as actuaries, risk analysts, and data scientists. Opportunities exist in industries like insurance, finance, and consulting, where they’ll apply analytical skills to solve complex business problems.

The actuarial science program at The University of Tampa, housed in the Department of Mathematics, offers an interdisciplinary experience to our students. The program intends to prepare students for careers as actuaries who assess risk and operate in a variety of insurance, financial and consulting environments.

An actuarial science graduate is required to take courses in probability, statistics, mathematics, theory of interest, economics, and programming. Most classes have 15 or fewer students in this program, so participants gain personalized attention and assistance. In addition to the coursework, actuarial science majors are required to have a field internship where they can observe, experience, and solve real-world issues.

The actuarial science curriculum at UT prepares students directly for the first two Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society (SOA/CAS) exams: Probability P (Exam P) and Financial Mathematics (Exam FM). In addition, selected courses in the program qualify for the Validation of Educational Experiences (VEE) credit, which the societies require.
