<p>I wanted to major in actuarial science but I think I may just major in Risk Management Insurance. This is my last semester at my CC and I will be transferring for this upcoming Fall semester. I applied to all my schools with an intended major of actuarial science as I want to pursue actuarial work. However, to become an actuary you have to pass the exams. I believe there are 9-10 exams of which you need to pass in order to officially have the title of an “Actuary” Anyone can correct me if I am wrong. However, to my knowledge, you can pass the first two exams and get an entry level job as an actuarial assistant while studying for the following exams. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Thanks this was stuff I was looking for </p>

<p>Anyone that passes one of the exams and gets a job working in the Actuarial Department of a business is considered an “Actuary” by title.</p>

<p>After passing ALL of the exams (it takes years to actually do so) and meeting some other criteria, one gets the title “Fellow” from the designating board (Society of Actuaries). I think that’s what your are referring to.</p>
