Gain a Diverse Set of Practical Skills with an Actuarial Mathematics Bachelor’s Degree

As an actuary, you would take your applied math skills and focus them on identifying opportunities over long periods of time. Businesses, insurance companies, and financial institutions are looking for people with actuarial math skills. They need individuals who can help enhance the consumer experience based on their past purchases, behavior, and interests. A large part of an actuary’s skills will involve the mathematical science of probability.

By conferring a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computational Mathematics – Actuarial from Liberty University, you can be better prepared for actuarial exams and employment. Through this program, you will complete the coursework necessary to earn 2 Validation by Education Experience (VEE) credits, and you will be introduced to the material in the first actuarial exam. Passing the preliminary actuarial exams and earning VEEs are necessary for entry-level actuarial employment.

One of the reasons actuaries are highly sought after is their ability to analyze risk. You can learn how to develop equations and solve problems such as likely life expectancy and premium rates based on an individual’s risk factors. If you want a lucrative career, you can gain a valuable skill set through our computational mathematics degree that can help you get there.
