    Welcome! The Actuarial Science program prepares student for careers as actuaries. It helps them learn material that is included in processional examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuary Society, which actuarial students must pass in order to achieve professional status. Thank you for your interest in our Actuarial Science Program at the University of Iowa. The Actuarial Science program prepares students for careers as actuaries. It helps them learn material that is included in professional examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries, which actuarial students must pass in order to achieve professional status. In addition to actuarial science courses, students can take courses in preparation for business aspects of the actuarial profession such as accounting, law, finance, insurance, and economics. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) has recognized University of Iowa’s actuarial science program as a Center of Actuarial Excellence (CAE). There are eight criteria for the designation, including curriculum, faculty composition, graduate quality, connection to industry, and research/scholarship. We are a small department in a large University and graduate between 20-15 students each year. We do have SELECTIVE admission due to the difficulty of the professional examinations. Students interested in becoming actuaries should declare an Interest in Actuarial Science as their major when they ENTER the university. Ordinarily, students apply for admission to the Actuarial Science major in the fall semester of their sophomore year, after they have taken Math:2850 (22M:028) Calculus III or MATH:3770 (22M:055) Fundamental Properties of Spaces and Functions I and STAT:3100 (22S:130) Introduction to Mathematical Statistics I.

  • Actuarial Studies Within the Biometry and Statistics and Statistical Science Majors
    Actuarial Studies within the Biometry and Statistics and Statistical Science majors An actuary is a business professional who analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics and financial theory to study uncertain future events, especially those of concern to insurance and pension programs. They evaluate the likelihood of those events, design creative ways to reduce the likelihood and decrease the impact of adverse events that actually do occur. To be more specific, actuaries improve financial decision making by developing models to evaluate the current financial implications of uncertain future events. Actuaries are an important part of the management team of the companies that employ them. Their work requires a combination of strong analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior to design and manage programs that control risk. No matter the source, actuary is consistently rated as one of the best jobs in America. US News and World Report, the Jobs Rated Almanac, CNN Money, and others all agree: few other occupations offer the combination of benefits that an actuarial career can offer. In almost every job satisfaction category, such as work environment, employment outlook, job security, growth opportunity, and salary (especially starting salary), a career as an actuary is hard to beat.

  • Actuarial Education – Alternative Routes for New Associations
    Actuarial Education – alternative routes for new associations Different routes to become an actuary Around the world actuarial associations recognize a number of different routes to becoming an actuary; many of them recognize more than one route. The main alternatives can be summarized as follows: − passing a recognized set of professional examinations (exams set and marked by an actuarial association); − obtaining a waiver from some of the actuarial profession’s exams by means of an accredited university course, followed by further professional examinations; − completing a university degree in actuarial science, usually at Masters level, followed by work experience; − completing a degree and then passing some exams controlled by the government or another official body, such as a regulator; − completing a degree and then taking some practice-specific exams organized by the profession; − admission on the basis of mutual recognition of qualifications from another actuarial association. University education In most actuarially developing countries, there are no universities with an established capacity to teach actuarial science. Most universities are able to offer courses in mathematics, statistics and economics, which are basic building blocks for actuarial programmes, but few are able to go beyond this, partly through lack of lecturers with appropriate knowledge and skills and partly, in many cases, through lack of awareness of actuarial science and the actuarial profession. One aspect of developing actuarial education in a new situation may be to encourage the involvement of one or more high quality universities, working with the mathematics, statistics, economics or finance faculties to develop some elements of actuarial education at the university. Professional examinations There are a number of actuarial associations which have traditionally offered their professional examinations not only in their own country but also more widely, in some cases in very many locations around the world.

  • Principles of Actuarial Science
    TRANSACTIONS OF SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES 1992 VOL. 44 PRINCIPLES OF ACTUARIAL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF ACIRJARIES COMMITI'EE ON ACTUARIAL PRINICPLES* ABSTRACT The Committee on Actuarial Principles is charged with identifying, cir- culating and organizing actuarial principles (as distinct from standards) and recommending the resulting statements of principles to the Board of Gov- ernors for review and adoption. In October 1991, the Board accepted the Committee's statement entitled "Principles of Actuarial Science." This statement, which constitutes the following paper, is an expression of opinion by the Committee on Actuarial Principles and has been authorized by the Board of Governors. It has not been submitted to the vote of the membership and thus should not be construed as an expression of opinion by the Society of Actuaries. Editor's note: The Committee believes that continued publication of dis- cussions of Principles of Actuarial Science is appropriate and may prove beneficial. Therefore, written discussions of this paper will continue to be considered for publication. For publication in Volume XLV of the Trans- actions, discussions must be received by March I, 1994. PREAMBLE Actuarial science, the foundation for the actuarial profession, is an applied science. As an applied science, its theory is grounded in certain observations about the real world. The practice of any profession is shaped by the experience of its members, as well as by accumulated scientific knowledge. The practice of the actuarial profession is based on: • Principles--Statements grounded in observation and experience. Prin- ciples will be subject to change only if fundamental changes occur in our understanding of the observed world.

    Report on Modeling of Economic Series Coordinated with Interest Rate Scenarios Research Sponsored by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries Researchers: Kevin C. Ahlgrim, ASA, MAAA, Ph.D. Illinois State University Stephen P. D’Arcy, FCAS, MAAA, Ph.D. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Richard W. Gorvett, FCAS, MAAA, ARM, FRM, Ph.D. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign July, 2004 Section 1: Introduction and Overview Introduction In May, 2001, the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) and the Society of Actuaries (SOA) jointly issued a request for proposals on the research topic “Modeling of Economic Series Coordinated with Interest Rate Scenarios.” The objectives of this request were to develop a research relationship with selected persons to investigate this topic; produce a literature review of work previously done in the area of economic scenario modeling; determine appropriate data sources and methodologies to enhance economic modeling efforts relevant to the actuarial profession; and produce a working model of economic series, coordinated with interest rates, that could be made public and used by actuaries via the CAS / SOA websites to project future economic scenarios. Categories of economic series to be modeled included interest rates, equity price levels, inflation rates, unemployment rates, and real estate price levels. This topic is of considerable value and importance to the actuarial profession and the broader insurance community, for several reasons. For example, a key aspect of the dynamic financial analysis (DFA) process, which continues to be an area of substantial development and interest in the actuarial community, is the generation of economic and financial scenarios.
