The MSU Actuarial Science Program is an interdisciplinary program that provides comprehensive training as a major or a specialization to highly motivated students in Michigan State University's College of Natural Science. Finance, economics, accounting, computer science, statistics and probability all play a significant role in our education of the next generations of actuaries. Each individual is admitted to the major based on his/her academic success, informed desire to pursue a career in the industry, and demonstrated potential to achieve established goals. After acceptance into the major or specializations, student scholars pursue a challenging academic program aligned with their professional interests. Based on student preparation, the MSU Actuarial Science Program provides employers with the confidence that actuarial science students have the technical and soft skills necessary to make immediate contributions to their organization.
