The MSU Actuarial Science Program is an interdisciplinary program that provides comprehensive training as a major or a specialization to highly motivated students in the College of Natural Science. Finance, economics, accounting, computer science, statistics and probability all play a significant role in the education of our next generations of actuaries. Most actuaries will move into careers in the insurance industry. Preparing for actuarial preliminary exams is stressed throughout the degree.
Students may also complete this major through Lyman Briggs College.
