Saint Louis University's actuarial mathematics minor prepares students to analyze the financial costs of risk and uncertainty.
Actuarial analysis requires a strong background in mathematics and statistics and is often applied to business risk management. Because of this, the actuarial mathematics minor at SLU makes an excellent combination with degrees from the Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business.
Program Highlights
- Requires four courses beyond the calculus sequence
- Prepare for actuarial exams in financial mathematics and probability
- Courses from this minor could also be used to fulfill some requirements for the major in mathematics
