Welcome to the Home Page of the Actuarial Program

Students who major in Actuarial Science at The Ohio State University will receive rigorous training in the mathematics and statistics needed for the design, financing, and operation of all types of insurance plans, pension plans and benefit plans.

Students will acquire a broad background in economics, finance, and risk management as well as technical aspects of actuarial science.  They will be expected to communicate fluently, both orally and in writing, about their technical expertise and the problems they solve.

The goals of the curriculum in the Actuarial Science Program are twofold: first, to supply a strong general background in mathematics, statistics, and relevant concepts from actuarial science and business, and second, to prepare students to take some of the national actuarial examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society

Important changes have taken place in the actuarial profession on the national level and these changes are reflected in the major program and the courses in actuarial science at Ohio State.   Please browse through this web page for more information.
