<p>I am a rising senior interested in mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics, and finance. Can anyone suggest a major/double major/minor combination as well as a college that would enable me to study ALL of these fields?
I am interested in becoming an actuary. Any input is appreciated, especially if you have been in the same situation. </p>
<p>Well you can look for unis with actuary programs so the major will have a bit of all that. Or, there are some colleges that have a math/cs major and you could do a minor in econ or stats. But if you did that I bet you would go into one of the cs jobs. That’s probably overkill on the CS. Better to do more math/stats. Cornell lists jobs that recent math majors get and there seem to be quite a few actuary track jobs. Really there are too many schools to name that you can take some combo. All colleges have ways to do coursework in other areas that your major, through electives. Even within distribution reqs you can pick well. It would be a shorter list to pick ones that don’t allow such study.</p>
<p>You can look up colleges here, not just for actuarial majors but for ones that have good levels of appropriate coursework.

<p>The good thing is that your potential majors are similar (well kind of). I mean it is not like you are deciding between a dance major and a math major, right? So I would recommend giving math a try, then add a few classes on the other subjects. You can’t go wrong by starting with math in any of those choices because to my knowledge they are need some math foundation.</p>
