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 are interested in this type of career, please attend the upcoming Actuarial Studies Information Session. The session is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5, 4-5 pm and will take place in RLM 5.120.

Actuarial Studies Program Assistant Director, Alisa Walch, 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.
