Actuarial Science

About

Actuaries manage risk, and the Actuarial Science (BS) degree at Appalachian State University is a great entry point to this profession that uses numbers to evaluate the likelihood of future events, designs creative ways to reduce risk, and decreases the impact if undesirable events do occur.

In this degree, you will build a firm foundation in basic mathematics, statistics, and economics and finance. Courses will prepare you for the first three actuarial exams, Exam P – Probability, Exam FM - Financial Mathematics, and Exam MLC – Models for Life Contingencies.

Unlike many other schools, Appalachian has an actuarial science major, not just a concentration. Appalachian's program is the only major in the University of North Carolina system designed completely from the bottom up to prepare students to be actuaries. It is housed in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
