Who We Are
The Actuarial Science Program at The University of Texas at Austin has a long and distinguished history of producing well-prepared students, many of whom have become leaders of the actuarial profession. We aim to provide a practical and professional education that prepares our students for pre-associate actuarial exams for both the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society; develops our student's technical skills, communication acumen, and ability to apply their knowledge and insight for success as an entry-level actuary; and encourages our students to become independent, life-long learners who will become leaders in their professional and personal lives.
What We're Fundraising For
Case Competitions - Every semester we hold an Actuarial Case Competition and have 30-50 students compete. The competitions are built to be simplified versions of real actuarial work, covering a variety of actuarial topics, that give our students a look at what actuaries do. Take a look at our website to learn more about our competitions and see past winners: https://sites.cns.utexas.edu/actuarial-science/case-competition
Scholarships - Through company and alumni support, we are able to award thousands of dollars in scholarships every semester. These scholarships help make their university education and actuarial exam education more affordable.
Faculty/Curriculum Development - Some of our best ideas come from colleagues at other universities. Attending conferences allows us to stay at the forefront of actuarial education and attract talent. The actuarial exams change regularly, and it's imperative that we have the resources in place to ensure our faculty can keep up with the changes.
Your Impact
"The case competition is what I truly believe gave me a leg up on my competitors when interviewing for internships. It was a real experience that forced me to use skills that actuaries use on a daily basis." - Participating Student
"I wish opportunities like this had been available when I was a student. The case study was a very realistic simulation of a typical industry challenge. As a result, these students will be more prepared for a career in actuarial science." - Judge/UT Alum
