Bachelor of Arts - Actuarial Science

An actuary is considered one of the best jobs in America that often flies under the radar. Some have said it’s the best job you never thought of. Demand for actuaries is high and it can pay six figures a year — with no grad school required. What is required is a love of mathematics. Plus statistics, computer science, business and economics.

A career as an Actuary is one of the best-kept secrets in the job hunting sphere. With only around 30,000 actuaries in the United States, the demand is great, the pay is generous and the work is rewarding. The U.S. Dept. of Labor anticipates the demand for Actuarial jobs will grow 26% by 2022.
