<p>If a school does not offer an actuarial science major, will a double major in math and finance provide an education to do well and pass multiple actuarial exams. Another question is what is the difference between actuarial centers of excellence and undergraduate advanced programs, as ranked by the society of actuaries? Let me know thank you very much. If it help I am looking for a small to mid size school and have a 1300/1990 sat score. Located in NY</p>
What is the benefit of majoring in actuarial sci in comparison to doublemajoring in math and finance
<p>Help much appreciated :D/ </p>
<p>See <a href=“http://www.beanactuary.com”>http://www.beanactuary.com</a> for information about preparation for actuarial exams and careers.</p>
<p>An actuarial science major is not necessary, but some specific course work is recommended (including the VEE courses listed for your school). Actuarial science majors tend to function as convenient checklists of courses that prepare the student for actuarial exams and careers.</p>
<p>Yes I have seen that website @ucbalumnus Is it safe to assume that being an actuarial major provides a better chance to pass more actuarila exams</p>
<p>You don’t even need the finance major (though adding finance, econ, or comp sci never hurts if keep your grades up). Math major by itself will prepare you, as long as you take the relevant courses. 1300 M+CR seems low for potential actuary. What was your math score? How have you done with advanced math classes? Just want to be sure you appreciate how incredibly hard the actuarial path will be.</p>
<p>Math score is a 730 @chardo</p>
