<p>Anybody doing this major?</p>
<p>Or know someone who is?</p>
<p>Is it really hard? </p>
<p>How's the workload?</p>
<p>How would you compare it to other majors? Like business (finance), engineering, math, physics? In terms of difficulty and workload</p>
<p>I was going to but instead I choose to double major Finance and Mathematics with a focus on Actuarial Mathematics. I'll be a freshman in Fall 2008 by the way.</p>
<p>I know someone at PSU now who is doing it and she has secured a very good job in New York--don't know much more than that though.</p>
<p>i want to major in that too. do they have a good program for it? like i heard some colleges will prepare you for 1 or 2 exams during the 4 years, what about PSU?</p>
<p>bump!! just got accepted to psu smeal, and want to know if their courses are good to prepare students for up to 4 exams</p>
<p>i stumbled upon a brochure ad about this program last semester. According to it, the program pays specific attention to test prep. I would suggest getting in contact with the college directly though.,</p>
<h2>bump!! just got accepted to psu smeal, and want to know if their courses are good to prepare students for up to 4 exams</h2>
<p>4 exams is probably too many to pass before graduation</p>
<p>It doesn't help you get a better job any more than 2 or 3 would</p>
<p>2 or 3 max is what you should do before graduation</p>
<p>Then you can study and take more after you get your job, and you will get a higher raise for each additional one</p>
<p>But yea, I was told they prepare you to pass the first 3</p>
<p>Here's a sample schedule of an actuarial science major at PSU</p>
<p>Actuarial</a> Science — Smeal Undergraduate Student Exchange</p>
<p>i'll be a freshman this fall majoring in actuarial science, i got into other schools but picked penn state because of their well developed act sci program. i went to visit yesterday and the second i got on campus i said to myself that i had to go there. the speaker at the accepted smeal student info session said the act sci program was the most respected out of all of the smeal majors</p>
