Actuarial Science Duke University

I want to prepare myself for Actuarial science so can you please tell me how Duke University will help me in this??

Actuaries earn professional status, by passing a series of examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society. Undergraduate or junior year is the optimal time to take the first examination, Calculus and Linear Algebra. The first two examinations should be passed before college graduation.

Some of the topics of the earlier examinations along with recommended supporting Duke courses are:

Calculus and linear algebra MTH 31, 32, 103, 104
Probability and statistics MTH 135, 136
Applied statistical methods MTH 217
Operations research MTH 126, 216
Numerical methods MTH 160, 221

Courses in accounting, finance, economics, and computer science are also helpful preparation for a career in actuarial science.

The curriculum in Mathematical Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill includes an Actuarial Science option. Students at Duke may enroll concurrently in these courses offered by UNC-Chapel Hill. A Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics of Duke University also prepare the students for job in actuarial sciences
