Hi everyone! I'm considering studying actuarial science and want to hear about the colleges in New York with great programs for it. Any recommendations on where to apply?
Sure, there are several colleges in New York known to offer strong programs in Actuarial Science.
NYU, specifically the Stern School of Business, offers an Actuarial Science concentration in its BS in Business degree. The program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, as well as finance and economics.
St. John's University also has a dedicated Actuarial Science major under its School of Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science. The program provides students with a solid academic foundation and prepares them for the first two actuarial exams.
In addition, Baruch College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, offers a BA in Actuarial Science. Baruch is consistently well-ranked for its Actuarial Science degree and its courses are designed to help students prepare for actuarial exams, making it an excellent option.
Please note that all these programs have different course structures and may have unique application requirements, so I'd encourage you to look through each program's website to figure out what might be the best fit for you.
