The management of uncertainty and risk is a crucial undertaking for many companies. Once limited to the insurance field, actuaries now help companies in all areas where modeling and risk management play an important role. Actuaries model claims risk for insurance companies, build models of loan defaults, price options in financial markets, predict the value of economic variables, estimate the risk and cost of adverse events and so much more. An actuarial science major trains to mathematically model uncertainty and risk. Surveys show that actuaries have one of the highest job-satisfaction ratings with challenging work, high financial compensation and strong job security.
