An individual who wants to become an actuary must excel at challenging courses
in mathematics, have some interest in using these skills to analyze and solve
business problems, be willing to spend many hours preparing for professional
examinations, and possess good communication skills.

If you think that you may be a good candidate for this type of career,
please let them know about an upcoming Actuarial Information Session. The
session is scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 4-5 pm and will take place in
ECJ 1.202. Feel free to share the following description with these students.

“Actuarial program director Mark Maxwell will briefly describe the actuarial
profession, the professional actuarial organizations, the actuarial
credentialing process, and the UT actuarial program/degree.

Is the profession right for you?  Characteristics of both successful and
unsuccessful students will be discussed so that you can judge for yourself.

A significant portion of time will be reserved to answer questions from those
in attendance.”

You can contact me with any questions you may have.
