Giving thought to actuarial science/math

[loudpainting]

<p>I'm currently a civil engineering transfer student.</p>

<p>I'm not in love with it really...</p>

<p>On the other hand, I really do not have any room to dither around, as I came back to school after an extended absence. </p>

<p>I've been giving thought to actuarial science. I could just switch to the actuary course, but honestly I'm thinking that I might just prefer to make it a minor type deal. I'm currently in Calculus 3 and will take Calc 4 in the spring. Do I have to take any stat classes or such?</p>

<p>To prepare actuarial exams taking math courses like Probability and Statistics as well as some Finance courses will be helpful. But from what I hear the Probability material on the exams are way harder than undergrad-level probability so self-study is important.</p>
