Actuarial Mathematics prepares students to be professionals who use mathematical models to analyse and solve financial problems under uncertainty. Actuaries are experts in the design, financing and operation of insurance plans, annuities, and pension or other employee benefit plans. An actuary requires a strong mathematical background, as well as knowledge of computers, accounting, finance and economics. Exposure to the social sciences and humanities is also important to provide a proper foundation for a broad approach to the many problems which the actuary regularly faces. The following Actuarial programs prepare students to write examinations to gain admission to the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and provide an excellent preparation for graduate studies in Actuarial Mathematics.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
