Actuarial Science Program

The Purdue Actuarial Science Program is an interdisciplinary program offered jointly by the Department of Mathematics and Department of Statistics.

The program offers a major in Actuarial Science that prepares students for an actuarial career as well as providing complete preparation for the first five exams set by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Students receive an Actuarial Science Degree, a Statistics Degree, and a Management Minor. We do not offer graduate degrees in Actuarial Science. For more information contact Julie Morris.
