<p>I'm planning on majoring in computer science this fall but I want to become an actuary. I thought I read somewhere on the UT website that Computer Science majors have done the actuarial program, but I've also heard that you HAVE to be a math major. Do I need to double major (computer science/math) to become an actuary?</p>
<p>No, you do not have to be a math major. I’ll see if I can find the link which talks about it, but the answer is no. If you want to be an actuary and major in something else, then they have a list of courses which help prepare you for the exams.</p>
<p>Here is a link which states you do not have to be a math major. Outside of the math advising department in RLM, they have handouts which lay out which courses you need to take for the concentration rather than the major. </p>

<p>I found the page listing the suggested courses to prepare you for the exams. Here it is. </p>
