The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) offers a top-ranked Actuarial Science program, providing students with both theoretical and practical exposure to the field of actuarial science.

The University of Connecticut is also worth considering. It offers an Actuarial Science program that is highly praised and has been recognized by the Society of Actuaries as a Center of Actuarial Excellence.

Finally, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has both a major and a minor in Actuarial Science. Interestingly, their Actuarial Science club is one of the largest in the entire country, offering a great community for students interested in this career.
