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 good candidates for this type of career, please come to the upcoming Actuarial Studies Information Session. The session is scheduled for Thursday, September 19, 4-5 pm and will take place in RLM 5.124.

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.
