In a collaborative effort, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the Faculty of Arts and Science and the Finance Department of the John Molson School of Business offer a BA and a BSc Specialization in Actuarial Mathematics/Finance. The program is intended to benefit students in high standing who would have been accepted into the Specialization in Actuarial Mathematics. It provides a niche for graduates since there is currently a shortage of specialists in the combined field.
This program combines a solid education in Actuarial Mathematics with an extensive introduction to Finance, equivalent to a Minor. It is designed for students who wish to pursue a career as an actuary, but at the same time want to specialize in the financial issues of actuarial practice. The program requirements combine all the compulsory courses of the BA/BSc program in Actuarial Mathematics (60 credits) with another 30 credits of required Accounting, Economics and Finance courses. Admission is limited to at most 15 students with excellent academic records.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
