The actuarial science certificate program is designed to prepare students for a career as an actuary. https://www.soa.org/future-actuaries/career-paths/. Actuaries apply mathematical models to measure and manage risk. They work for and with organizations with a financial focus, such as insurance companies, banks, investment firms, government agencies, and accounting and consulting firms. The program combines coursework in mathematics, probability, statistics, risk management, economics, and finance. For more information, visit: https://www.terry.uga.edu/degrees-and-programs/
