Undergraduate Program

Purdue’s Actuarial Science Program is an interdisciplinary program jointly administered by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics. Upon graduation, students receive degrees in both Actuarial Science and Applied Statistics. Many graduates also complete a minor in Management, and some choose to graduate with "Honors in Actuarial Science" by fulfilling additional requirements. Approximately 80% of our students secure at least one actuarial-related internship during their time at Purdue, and over 70% have full-time actuarial positions lined up at graduation. Nearly 100% of our graduates are employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation.

The program prepares students for an actuarial career as well as the first six exams set by the Society of Actuaries and the first four exams set by the Casualty Actuarial Society. Students can complete some of these exams via the University Earned Credit (UEC) program while enrolled – before they graduate – giving them a competitive edge in their career search.
