Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Pre-Actuarial Math

University of Nebraska at Omaha

This concentration is recommended for students interested in a career as an Actuary and who plan on taking the actuarial exams.An actuary evaluates the financial impact of risk by evaluating the likelihood of future events, designing creative ways to reduce the likelihood of undesirable events, and decreasing the impact of undesirable events that do occur.Actuaries work for insurance companies, government, and consulting firms. In the actuarial profession, you can earn while you learn. Many students receive on-the-job training while enrolled in the examination process. Employers are generally supportive and may give students study time during working hours, pay exam fees, and award raises for each exam passed. However, most employers prefer to hire people who have started the series of examinations on their own and have already passed at least two or three.Students interested in specializing in mathematics and intending to do either graduate work in Mathematics or work in business or industry will be interested in this degree. The Mathematics Department Degree Program prepares students for employment in the private or public sector, graduate school, and scientific research. Studying mathematics naturally develops quantitative thinking and analytic problem solving, talents with universal application. Demand will always be high for individuals with these universal talents to solve society’s diverse and complex problems.The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Degree Program prepares students for employment in the private or public sector, graduate school, and scientific research.
