About the course

In general, actuaries help organizations manage risk. But what an actuary does at an insurance company differs from what actuaries do at a commercial bank. Here are some things actuaries do in almost every industry: They earn high incomes, perform rewarding work, have a rare combination of skills and enjoy exceptional job security. The average actuary salary in the United States surpasses 100,000. If you?re good at math and have an analytical mind, Oakland University?s actuarial science degree might be the ideal fit for you. Our actuarial science degree provides direct, hands-on experience to help you get your actuarial career off to a fast start. In addition to building proficiency with big data, you?ll get the chance to exhibit the critical reasoning and strategic analysis that employers are looking for. And Southeast Michigan?s diversified economy presents a broad range of actuarial career pathways in health care, insurance, finance, government and many other industries.
