Course Requirements for Major
Course Requirements for Actuarial Science Concentration
Total Credit Hours Required 120
- “C” or better required
- 6 credits of Math satisfy the general education requirements
- Check General Education Courses to confirm courses fulfilling this requirement.
- FTA (theatre/dance/film related course), FA or MUS
- At least 6 of these credits must not be mathematics courses in the College of Sciences. 6 credits can be engineering courses. 1 less credit is required if the student took CSCI 1581 and CSCI 1583 (rather than CSCI 1205 .) The College of Sciences maintains a list of approved science electives. Note that many low level classes are not permitted.
- Includes 2 credits of Math listed in general education requirements section
- Students not adequately prepared to enter a calculus sequence must take appropriate pre-calculus courses without credit toward graduation. The mathematics department determines placement for mathematics classes.
- Foreign language must include a six hour sequence in one language. French, German, or Russian is recommended for students planning graduate studies.
- Students interested in graduate studies in mathematics are strongly advised to take MATH 4102 .
Additional Requirement
