Program Requirements
Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at the University of Georgia and must be able to simultaneously satisfy the requirements of the Actuarial Science Certificate Program while completing their degree requirements. If courses listed below are used to satisfy degree requirements, they may also be used to satisfy certificate requirements. Students must take a minimum of 21 hours. A minimum grade of C (2.00) is required in the three core courses making up Part I and the two course sequences making up Part II.

Prerequisites:
  • MATH 2250: Calculus I for Science and Engineering
  • MATH 2260: Calculus II for Science and Engineering

Part I – Required Core Courses (9 Hours):
A minimum grade of "C" (2.0) is required for the courses in Part I. * MATH 2270 or MATH 2500 is a prerequisite for core courses STAT 4510/6510 or MATH 4600/6600. MATH 2270 or MATH 2500 is not a prerequisite for RMIN 4100 or RMIN 4200.

Part II – Choose Two Course Sequences from the Following (12 Hours):
