Mathematics, with an Actuarial Science Concentration
Bachelor of Science
Actuarial Science is a cross-disciplinary field that requires knowledge from mathematics, economics, and business to solve problems involving risk assessment and risk management. Actuaries apply mathematical principles and techniques to solve problems in finance, insurance, and related fields. They are involved with every aspect of the insurance industry and must possess strong mathematical skills and a solid business background to apply their technical knowledge. Dalton State College’s Mathematics degree with an Actuarial Concentration will provide students with the courses to be successful in the actuarial field. Courses in this pathway include calculus, probability & statistics, economics, marketing, accounting, computer science, and finance. Professional status is obtained through a series of exams and this degree starts the student on the path to becoming an actuary.
