Student Resources

We have a wonderful Actuarial Club on campus, the Risk Runners. To join their listserv, send your request to the Math Center: MATH-mcenter@arizona.edu.

LaunchPad is a new resource from the Coaching Actuaries team (see the Exam Preparation section linked below for more on CA); it provides an introduction to the field of actuarial science. For a preview, watch the trailer on Vimeo. 

The Casualty Actuary Society maintains a helpful site for students, CAS Student Central; if you are interested in property/casualty actuary jobs, this is a great site for you to join.  Not only do they have useful information about course work to take, they also have internship and job listings!   

Our former liaison to the CAS (who is also one of our alumni) would try to visit each Spring to give a presentation about the field, exams, etc.  She has shared the slides from her most recent visit: U of A_Presentation_2020.pdf  Unfortunately, she had to step down from the position, and we are currently without a liaison; if you know someone who might be interested, please connect them with the Math Center!

Some older (but still largely relevant) information about careers in Actuarial Science can be found on the following web pages created by Professor Emeritus Donald Myers:  http://www.u.arizona.edu/~donaldm/actuarial/actuarl.html   and  http://www.u.arizona.edu/~donaldm/homepage/prob_st.html.
