General information
The Actuarial Science Program at the Florida State University is an interdisciplinary undergraduate major that resides in the Department of Mathematics. It is classified as Advanced Undergraduate and Graduate Education by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) / Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) Listing of Academic Actuarial Science Programs. The complete listing of all schools can be accessed from the Academic Relations page of the Society of Actuaries web site (www.soa.org) or the Casualty Actuarial Society site (www.casact.org). It can also be found at the Be An Actuary web site (www.beanactuary.com). The current process to become an actuary in the SOA or CAS, or a Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst (CERA) in the SOA, involves passing a sequence of preliminary exams and obtaining validation by educational experience (VEE) in the areas of applied statistics, economics, and finance from an approved university such as FSU. The preliminary exams in the SOA are called Exam P (Probability), Exam FM (Financial Mathematics), Exam M (Actuarial Models; which is split into two parts, Life Contingencies (Exam MLC) and Financial Economics (Exam MFE)), and Exam C (Construction of Models). The preliminary exams in the CAS are called Exam 1, Exam 2, Exam 3, and Exam 4. However, the following exams are jointly administered by the SOA and CAS: Exam P with Exam 1 (hence referred to as Exam P/1), Exam FM with Exam 2 (Exam FM/2), and Exam C with Exam 4 (Exam C/4). The SOA chose not to name their exams numerically, since doing so would possibly imply that the exams must be taken in a particular order. The required course content of FSU's program in actuarial science covers material for the preliminary exams as well as all three VEE areas. There are diverse entry-level opportunities for graduates, including many in Florida. Recent FSU graduates have readily found attractive employment; company interviews held in the department facilitate matching students with employer needs. The FSU Mathematics Department also offers a Financial Mathematics Masters Program (http://www.math.fsu.edu/~kercheva/FMGuide/index.html), in which students can choose to concentrate in Actuarial Science. The specialized courses in the Department of Mathematics required for Actuarial Science majors build on earlier mathematics and statistics. Graduate students and mathematically prepared undergraduates in economics, finance, statistics, mathematics, and computer science may elect these courses. The course work in the Financial Mathematics Master's Program involves readings, problem sets and presentations, which model theory through actuarial applications; examinations are typical of mathematics courses. The concentration in Actuarial Science is designed for students pursuing actuarial credentials from one of the professional societies or intending to apply the skills and information of a strong actuarial science program elsewhere in the financial or insurance industries, or in governmental applications. Students already holding the bachelor's degree in another field may pursue this degree. Please see ( Students already holding a bachelors degree for further options. The actuarial profession is consistently highly rated (e.g.; by Jobs Almanac, based on criteria related to salary, stress, work environment, outlook, security and physical demands). Banking and investment houses, in addition to the usual insurance and government employers, now employ many trained in actuarial science and the related mathematics, statistics, computing and finance. The students in this degree offering demonstrate strong mathematical and computational aptitude, leadership ability, and communications skills. They become knowledgeable in finance and insurance as well as in mathematics and statistics. Most of them successfully complete examinations in the joint SOA/CAS sequence. A number of students each year participate in internship activities. Graduates from recent past years are well placed in industry and government. These employers have been generous with advice from their experience for the program.

The undergraduate major

Broad instruction is provided in the mathematical, statistical, economic and business concepts underlying the operations of property, casualty, and life insurers, governmental agencies, and consulting firms. Beyond the basic scientific calculus sequence that is necessary for the first actuarial examination, and basic courses in economics, accounting, and computer science, the requirements are rather evenly split between mathematics, statistics, and business. Within the required business minor, all students take one course in each of the highly rated departments of Risk Management and Insurance, Economics, and Finance. To deepen the student's information base, an advanced two-course concentration, chosen from several options with regard for student goals, must be completed in one of these departments. Students are required to take courses that are designed to assist them in successful completion of the preliminary actuarial examinations, and they are provided group support and strong encouragement for completing many of the exams before award of the degree. Since it is necessary in order to be competitive in today's job market that students pass at least one actuarial exam while in school, FSU Actuarial Science offers targeted help. The mathematics courses include material in the syllabus for all of the preliminary actuarial exams with optional study beyond. As a new feature begun in 2007, FSU now offers 20-hour special seminars for Exams P/1, FM/2, and MLC; these are developed and presented by Dr. Stephen P. Paris, the Coordinator of Actuarial Science. These actuarial exams are part of the preliminary exams that are required for actuarial and CERA designations. Passing an actuarial exam requires considerable extra effort above course work on the part of students but it provides - and is essential for - a competitive edge in the job market. Additionally, for an FSU undergraduate degree in actuarial science, the required courses include those courses for which students receive credit in all three of the VEE areas: applied statistics, economics, and finance. Note that in order to receive VEE credit for any course, you must receive a grade of B- or better in the course. FSU Actuarial Science also organizes opportunities to help you find a job before graduation. Students join and participate most Thursday evenings in presentations of the Florida State Student Actuarial Society (FSSAS). Presentations are by practicing actuaries with government, insurance, consulting, and financial firms who talk with our actuarial science students. The Thursday presentations are usually followed by Friday interviews for summer internships and/or full time positions at the respective actuary's company. The interviews are set up by the departmental advisor in the Math Conference Room. Many job postings to the student aliases are made by faculty and advisors; they have wide contacts and receive queries from diverse actuarial, governmental, and financial sector employers.

Academic and career advisement

In addition to faculty advisement, the Student Activities Coordinator is available to give advice and to help students with problems. She keeps a file of materials related to preparation for actuarial examinations and lends them to students who are preparing; she makes available pamphlets and videos about the profession for those who seek beginning information. She maintains contacts with employers and keeps students advised by phone and e-mail of current information and opportunities of interest. By the time of exit interviews at graduation, both she and Dr. Case know each student well. Dr. Case provides prospective employers with information and takes a real interest in following up the progress of graduates.

Students already holding a bachelors degree

If you want to become an actuary or CERA, and you have earned your Bachelors degree but it is not in Actuarial Science, then FSU Mathematics offers several paths, extending its well recognized Actuarial Science undergraduate program and following requirements of the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society (see www.BeAnActuary.org). For each of the degree options students will, as part of their programs, be given the opportunity to qualify for all three of the SOA/CAS VEE credits (Finance, Economics, and Applied Statistics). It is convenient for some students to take some courses in the program as a Special Student, possibly converting to degree status after a term or two. Since it is necessary in order to be competitive in today's job market that students pass at least one actuarial exam while in school, FSU Actuarial Science offers targeted help. The mathematics courses include material in the syllabus for all of the preliminary actuarial exams with optional study beyond. As a new feature begun in 2007, FSU now offers 20-hour special seminars for Exams P/1, FM/2, and MLC; these are developed and presented by Dr. Stephen P. Paris, the Coordinator of Actuarial Science. These actuarial exams are part of the preliminary exams that are required for actuarial and CERA designations. FSU Actuarial Science also organizes opportunities to help you find a job before graduation. Students join and participate most Thursday evenings in presentations of the Florida State Student Actuarial Society (FSSAS). Presentations are by practicing actuaries with government, insurance, consulting, and financial firms who talk with our actuarial science students. The Thursday presentations are usually followed by Friday interviews for summer internships and/or full time positions at the respective actuary's company. The interviews are set up by the departmental advisor in the Math Conference Room. Many job postings to the student aliases are made by faculty and advisors; they have wide contacts and receive queries from diverse actuarial, governmental, and financial sector employers. OPTIONS: We invite you to think carefully about which option best meshes your background with your goals. For some students it is important to earn a master's degree; others wish to enhance job market preparation as rapidly as possible. In each case, the basis for the first four actuarial exams and the three VEE credits are completed. If after considering these options you have questions, please contact us. 1. Second Bachelor's degree BS in Actuarial Science: This does not require graduate admission or GRE scores. To facilitate rapid initial registration, U.S. citizens and permanent residents may begin this in Special Student status. A student whose original bachelor's degree was in mathematics with some calculus-based probability course work may be able to complete the 30-hour requirement for the BS in Actuarial Science in one year. However, students without prior course work in any of the areas of economics, finance, and/or risk management may take longer, as will those without strong undergraduate mathematics or suitable undergraduate foreign language credit. To get VEE credit in all three areas, students may need to complete more than the minimum of 30 semester hours. Since each student enters with a different combination of courses, plans for completion of the second bachelor's degree are designed optimally for each. 2. MS Degree two options are available: An MS option is usually desired by the academically strong student whose undergraduate major was not Actuarial Science but who wants to prepare for the profession with a graduate degree with some long term flexibility, rather than a second bachelor's degree. These options are 2-year programs open to students from a variety of backgrounds who qualify for departmental graduate admission. In each option, the basic MS requirements are satisfied and the remaining hours comprise a "concentration" in actuarial science; early planning is essential to fit individual backgrounds to the requirements. During the first year and summer (a 2- or 3- month summer Internship is encouraged), the student participates in the P/1 and FM/2 seminars and is encouraged to sit for these exams. During the second year, students include as graduate level mathematics courses MAP 4

5177-5178 (Actuarial Models; Advanced Actuarial Models, Credibility, and Simulation). Students have opportunity for some relevant electives from the College of Business in the Departments of Finance, and Risk Management and Insurance. a. Financial Mathematics MS, Actuarial Science Concentration: The student completes the listed requirements see Financial Mathematics Guide. Pursuing this "concentration", students take a fixed schedule of courses during the first year enhanced by the special seminars. The first year also provides courses for VEE credits. In conjunction with the Department of Finance and the Department of Risk Management and Insurance in the College of Business, a plan is being developed for study focused toward the Advanced Finance/ Enterprise Risk Manangement Exam and the Financial Reporting and Operational Risk Module of the CERA designation. This option, earning the MS in Financial Mathematics with an actuarial concentration, is a good CERA preparation while providing more depth of knowledge for applications in the financial sector than is available in most actuarial programs. b. MS in Pure or Applied Mathematics (utilizing a Directed Program of Study): This option involves completing most of the required courses in either the pure or applied master's program, with a few of the required courses replaced by the module of courses directly related to actuarial science. This option could be invoked to have more flexibility than the above Master's Degree in Financial Mathematics and is attractive for students who are not sure about their career path particularly if they might be interested in community college level teaching. The option must be planned at the beginning of the program, and would typically be developed by the student and Dr. Paris, in association with the Associate Chairs of Mathematics, Professors Bettye Anne Case and Steven Bellenot. CONTACTS: Ms. Esther Diaguila is the departmental academic advisor, and for beginning as a special student or for the degree options you should write her first: advisor@math.fsu.edu. For the graduate options, you will be put in contact with Dr. Paris and/or Dr. Bettye Anne Case, the Associate Chair of Graduate Studies.

Internship in Actuarial Science (1-3, S/U graded). Minimum Total Hours: 22 SCNS Prerequisite (advised in first two years) + 44-45 required at FSU = total 66-67

Other Requirements
The liberal studies program of the university provides a broad base of intellectual and multicultural interests and accomplishments. A minimum 40 hours of the total graduation hours must be at the 3xxx or 4xxx level. These courses may be in any field in the major or in electives. The Department of Mathematics resides in the College of Arts and Sciences, which has a foreign language requirement. See the General Bulletin for complete description of language requirements as well as the liberal studies and multicultural requirements. The student is urged to ask early for advice in planning an individualized program and to follow it carefully. It is important to spread the language and liberal studies requirements somewhat evenly over the entire four years of study, while beginning immediately to take and making progress each term on the sequential required courses of the program. Many of these courses themselves have several prerequisite courses, sometimes in other departments, so careful planning is essential if graduation is to be timely. 7

Electives
Some hours may remain after all requirements have been satisfied, and the student is urged to choose these carefully. A faculty committee has consulted with actuaries and with faculty in other actuarial science programs, and recommends first choosing additional courses from the lists above; other good choices, depending on individual goals, are: ACG 3171; BUL 3310; MAA 4402; MAP 4103; MAP 4180; MAP 4202; MAS 4302; RMI 4295; RMI 4420; SPC 1600

Outside the classroom

Students in the program are busy with all of the occupations and pleasures of the undergraduate life plus a major forward-looking responsibility: on an individual basis, studying for and passing actuarial examinations. Many of the students hold part-time jobs, often utilizing the skills they are developing. The students are active in social, political, and community service activities. There is a mathematics club in which actuarial students are often active along with other departmental majors with whom they share early classes. In addition to the FSSAS, many are active in the Insurance Club sponsored in the Department of Risk Management and Insurance. Several actuarial science majors are members and officers of the local chapter of the national mathematics honor society, Pi Mu Epsilon. Actuarial exam tutorials. A credit course, Actuarial Applications, provides tutoring for students to enhance their competitive position for jobs by exam preparation. With ten hours per week of tutorials available, and preparatory materials made available, students have more opportunity to pass exams while at FSU. Florida State Student Actuarial Society. The FSSAS provides, through outside speakers from government and industry and through information shared by its members and sponsors, a good orientation about what it means to be a student actuary. Graduates from recent past years are well placed in industry and government with employers of student actuaries and they and their employers have been generous with their experience and advice to the current students. Actuarial internships. Several students in the program have participated in internship activities with insurers and governmental agencies. The proximity of the State of Florida Department of Insurance and other departments with actuarial applications is a useful resource; some choose employment there after graduation. Summer internships are available from many employers nationwide. They are a long tradition in actuarial science. In case of summer or academic year internships (the latter typically in a local governmental agency), academic credit may be earned (consult Dr. Case) in MAT 4945r. Internship in Actuarial Science (1-3). (S/U grade only.)

Actuarial societies and examinations

There are several actuarial societies that credential actuaries. A helpful publication: Write to the American Society of Student Actuaries, 1400 Opus Place, Suite 960, Downers Grove, IL 60515, and ask to subscribe to The Student Actuary; the cost is minimal. The two largest actuarial societies and their informative websites are: 1. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is an educational research and professional membership organization. Their statement of purpose goes on to say Actuarial Science is built on the evaluation of the financial, economic and other implications of future contingent events. The actuary is trained to analyze uncertainty, risk and probabilities. The actuarys domain includes financial security programs and other programs involving contingencies such as death, disability, property damage and retirement. The SOA address is: Society of Actuaries, 475 N. Martingale Road, Suite 800, Schaumburg, IL 60173-2226. The phone number is (847) 706-3500. (http://www.soa.org) 2. The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) has as one of its primary objectives the development of qualified professionals in the field of casualty actuarial practice. The CAS address is: Casualty Actuarial Society, 1100 N. Glebe Road, Arlington, VA 22201. The phone number is (703) 276-3100. (http://www.casact.org) Students are required to take courses designed to assist them in successful completion of the earlier actuarial examinations, and they are provided group support and strong encouragement for completing some of these before award of the degree. Note that the courses do not prepare the student for the examinations: That must be accomplished by individual study using study materials procured from the CAS/SOA and Mad River Books (1-800-282-2839) and the Actuarial Bookstore (1-800-582-9672). Examination preparation materials can be expensive but are strongly advised, probably essential.

Faculty
The program is resident in the Department of Mathematics. Students have the opportunity to profit from instruction by many of its award-winning faculty members in their earlier courses such as calculus and linear algebra. Professor Bettye Anne Case is Director of the Actuarial Science Program. She teaches the specialized interest and life contingencies courses and is the faculty advisor. Faculty from mathematics and the associated departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Business work closely with students in the option. An ongoing advisory committee gives consideration to both academic standards in actuarial science education and program flexibility to meet industry needs. Keeping a finger on the pulse of future trends in educating students for this occupation is inherent in this groups responsibility.
