 Return to: Academic Programs
The 16-credit Certificate in Actuarial Science helps students prepare for U.S. and Canadian actuarial exams in probability and financial mathematics. The program also provides partial preparation for the actuarial exam in life contingencies. The certificate may be particularly useful for students in the Master of Science in International Economics and Finance program who, by choosing STAT 541 as an elective, can complete the Actuarial Science certificate with only two additional courses. The certificate program is also open to degree-seeking and non-degree graduate students meeting the admission requirements.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet the general requirements for graduate admission (see here ) and/or be active graduate students in a program at Valparaiso University. In addition, admission to this program requires:
- Two calculus courses (equivalent to MATH 131 Calculus I and MATH 132 Calculus II)
- An introductory statistics course (equivalent to STAT 240 Statistical Analysis)
- A financial accounting course (equivalent to ACC 205 Financial Accounting)
