Notes:
1.To become an Actuarial Science Major, a student must successfully complete Math 1131 with a grade of at least B or received AP credit for Math 1131
2.Required by University of Connecticut for Actuarial Science Major
3.Approved by Society of Actuaries for Validation by Educational Experience
4.One of Math 2610 or Finance 3221 is required and one of Math 3632 or Math 3634 is required.
5.Math 2194W, while not required, must be taken at the same time as Math 2210 if it is taken at all.
Since financial models are utilized extensively by the profession, knowledge of one or more computer languages and facility with a spreadsheet package are also strongly encouraged.
