Society of Actuaries Archived 2000 Yearbook REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Page 1 of 3 Requirements for Admission to the Society of Actuaries This overview of actuarial education is written for Fellows and other interested audiences who are not taking exams. It is edited to be informative, not definitive. Detailed information on courses, syllabus, study materials, fees, and examination dates, times, and locations is given in the Fall Associateship and Fellowship Catalog and in the Spring Associateship and Fellowship Catalog, which are available from the Society office. 1. Requirements for Admission to the Society of Actuaries as an Associate Anyone pursuing actuarial studies may apply for admission to the Society. If the Board of Governors approves the Application for Admission as Associate, the candidate will be enrolled as an Associate of the Society of Actuaries (A.S.A.) after completing the Associateship education and examination requirements prescribed by the Board of Governors, subject to any further requirements that the Board may prescribe. A candidate must complete Courses 1-6 as well as the Associateship Professionalism Course to satisfy the Associateship requirements. ASA Course Description 2. Requirements for Associateship a. Required Courses The following list shows the required courses needed to become an Associate under the new requirements. Course 1 Mathematical Foundations of Actuarial Science Course 2 Interest Theory, Economics and Finance Course 3 Actuarial Models Course 4 Actuarial Modeling Course 5 Application of Basic Actuarial Principles Course 6 Finance and Investments b. Associateship Professionalism Course The Associateship Professionalism Course is an additional requirement for the A.S.A. designation and may be taken after completing Courses 1-4. The course will be offered at the Society's Spring and Annual Meetings and at other sites throughout the year. http://www.soa.org/yearbook/requirements.html 8/24/00 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Page 2 of 3 Credit for all courses must be obtained by examinations offered by the SOA or by an alternative method approved by the Board of Governors. Also, in certain circumstances, course credit may be obtained by waiver for a candidate who has examination credits in another recognized actuarial organization (see page 12 in the Spring 2000 Associateship and Fellowship Catalog). 3. Requirements for Fellowship Candidates cannot attain Fellowship without having satisfied requirements for Associateship. Candidates may not attend the Fellowship Admissions Course until they have completed all other Fellowship educational requirements. The Fellowship Admissions Course is required of all candidates for Fellowship. Candidates who desire Fellowship in the Canadian Institute of Actuaries must complete the Society's Fellowship requirements, including completion of the Fellowship Admissions Course, and complete any other CIA requirements. Complete details are in the CIA Yearbook. a. FSA Course Descriptions Course 7 Applied Actuarial Modeling Course 8 Advanced Specialized Actuarial Practice Candidates must choose one of the following: Finance Health, Group Life & Managed Care Individual Insurance Investments Retirement Benefits b. Professional Development Requirement The PD requirement of the SOA curriculum serves to cover topics that the practitioner will need to learn throughout his/her career, including those that are country-specific, regulatory, or otherwise transitory in nature. Satisfying the PD requirement occurs after completing the formal course of examinations and precedes eligibility for the FAC to attain the FSA designation. The candidate must obtain a minimum of 50 units of eligible education within a two year period, with at least 35 units coming from the completion of suitable formal professional development programs (seminars and symposia, meeting sessions, professional examinations, and courses), and 15 units from the completion of a professional project and communication of the relevant aspects of the project. c. Fellowship Admissions Course The Fellowship Admissions Course is the final requirement for Fellowship and is required of all candidates for Fellowship. It is offered following both the Spring and Fall examinations.
