Overview

Key facts

The Actuarial Science MSc program offered at Arizona State University also includes a new focused set of professional learning outcomes aligned with the needs of the ever-evolving insurance industry, while keeping the core technical learning outcomes in place. These guide students' development of professional competencies through coursework, independent projects and opportunities outside of the classroom, while remaining firmly based on a strong foundation of scholarly technical work in actuarial science.

Career Opportunities

Risk is a part of daily life and wherever there is risk, there are opportunities for actuarial intervention. Many actuaries work with insurance companies to calculate premiums, determine reserves needed to ensure an organization's financial health and to ensure organizations conform to stringent, complex legal mandates. Others help companies to establish retirement plans or are employed as consultants.

Graduates possess skills that are transferable to any industry and any organization that requires risk modeling and management, including:

colleges and universities
consulting firms
energy, such as utilities, oil and gas
environment (on issues such as climate change and the financial impact or risk of extreme events)
financial services, such as banking and investment management
government agencies such as Social Security, the Department of Labor and Medicare (to manage social programs and to develop regulations and legislation)
insurance companies
retirement and pensions
transportation, such as shipping and air travel
