Actuarial Science Program

The Actuarial Science Program at Morgan State University is one of two formalized Actuarial Science Programs in the state of Maryland approved by Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC). It uniquely incorporates the disciplines of Mathematics, Finance, Accounting and Economics to create a synergistic program that fully equips our graduates for the workforce.

The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science program includes courses approved by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) to fulfill the Validation by Educational Experience credits and courses covering the learning objectives described in the SOA Basic Education Catalog for Preliminary Actuarial Examinations Probability (P), Financial Mathematics (FM) and Investments and Fundamentals of Actuarial Mathematics (FAM). Full and partial tuition scholarships are available through the University Honors Program for students who qualify. Students in the program also have access to scholarships from International Association of Black Actuaries (IABA), The Actuarial Foundation (TAF) and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) Society, among many other opportunities available to actuarial science majors. The program encompasses extensive exam prep for actuarial exams and valuable internship opportunities will also be made available to students by invited guests to our professional development seminar. Although the program is not a Center for Actuarial Excellence (CAE), there is an opportunity to get University Earned Credit (UEC) for the Financial Mathematics (FM) actuarial exam. 

The mission of the Morgan State University Actuarial Science Program is:

• to increase the number of highly qualified students, especially among underrepresented populations, entering careers in actuarial and actuarial-related fields who can significantly contribute to the financial security of all entities through their ability to identify, assess, manage and quantify uncertainty and risk in various situations
• to promote the development and use of statistics, probability, decision-making and risk management
• to support collaboration with, and integration of other disciplines to produce theoretically sound and innovative practical applications in the advancement of the actuarial science discipline.
• to prepare students for SOA/CAS professional examinations.
