Actuarial Science Certificate Program

The certificate program is designed to prepare students for an actuarial career. Actuaries apply mathematical models to assess the financial cost of uncertainty. There is a high demand for actuaries across all industries which is why it’s currently listed as one of the “Best Jobs for 2012”.

Eligibility

This certificate program is open to all undergraduate students currently enrolled at UGA.

Prerequisites

  • MATH 2250: Calculus I for Science and Engineering
  • MATH 2260: Calculus II for Science and Engineering
  • MATH 2500: Multivariable Calculus (While MATH 2500 is a prerequisite for the required core course STAT 4510, you can apply for the certificate program before taking MATH 2500.)
