Introduction
Theย actuarial scienceย program at The University of Tampa, housed in theย 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 twoย Society of Actuariesย andย Casualty Actuarial Societyย (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.
