<p>Which college is best for actuary?? east coast prefer.</p>
<p>My friend’s son, a brilliant underachiever, went to U Mass at Amherst (not Amherst College) and is an actuary. He initially worked for an insurance company but is now with a consulting company. He does very well and enjoys his work.</p>
<p>[Actuarial</a> Science Schools](<a href=“http://www.actuary.com/actuarial-science-schools/]Actuarial”>http://www.actuary.com/actuarial-science-schools/)</p>
<p>Is it ranked, XD</p>
<p>On the east coast the best by far is the University of Connecticut. However, if you want to be an actuary, a math or stats major at any school will be sufficient.</p>
<p>Do those prestigious schools like UC Berkeley or UCLA have good business majors…</p>
<p>Both do have excellent business majors, but you would have a hard time becoming an actuary as a business major. You need much more math then you will see in most business majors. You could go to one of those schools and major in math/stats and become an actuary.</p>
