Careers Using complex statistical analysis, actuaries measure potential financial risks for an array of organizations, including health insurance, life insurance and property insurance companies.
Focus on techniques appropriate for the analysis of cross-section and panel data. Learn the theoretical underpinnings of such topics as instrumental variables, selection bias, regression discontinuity, and quantile regression. Explore communication techniques that allow you to select appropriate information and craft a clear and effective narrative.
Begin with the fundamental questions of communication: who is the audience? What is the information? What is the goal? Produce good visual displays by combining art and science and compromising between function and form.
Learn how humans process and encode visual and textual information in relation to selecting an appropriate visual display. Examples and cases will be used from a variety of industries. Change the way you think about data by exploring how statistical learning and data mining techniques can be used to improve decision-making and probability. Learn how numerous firms have demonstrated the importance of reliably extracting managerially relevant information.
Gain an overview of the fundamental principles and techniques of data mining, and use real-world examples, cases, and hands-on techniques to demonstrate data-mining techniques and develop your analytic thinking and your model-building acumen.
Review graduate-level macroeconomic theory without needing a background in economics. Survey theories and evidence bearing on growth and cycles in output, employment, interest rates, and prices.
Learn sector details and the scope for control of cycles. Build from your foundation of business analytics to extend your understanding of the art and science of extracting information from data into increasingly complex real-world data and enhance your value to decision makers.
Draw intuition and insight from models and effectively communicate that insight into a format that can help decision-makers make better decisions. Topics in microeconomics covered within this course include: interaction between supply and demand, consumer behavior, production choices, different types of competition, factor markets, and market failure.
This course will also explore topics in macroeconomics such as: business cycles, inflation, unemployment, monetary and fiscal policy, balance of payments, international economics, and economic growth. Earn the VEE credit for accounting and finance as required by the actuarial societies.
Explore topics including: basic accounting principles and regulations, financial statements, investment decision-making, the risk-return tradeoff, capital structure, long-term financing, investment risk, and an introduction to both financial and real options. Complete this first course in stochastic processes, with an emphasis on continuous-time models that support applications in financial mathematics and derivative evaluation. Review topics including: fundamentals of probability, limit theorems, conditional expectation, change of measures, Markov chains, random walks, martingales, Brownian motion, the Ito integral, stochastic differential equations, and the Black-Scholes model and its use in evaluating a variety of financial derivatives.
Offered every other Spring semester on even years. Complete this thorough course in nonparametric statistics and learn about topics such as estimation and testing of hypotheses when the function form of the population distribution function is not completely specified.
If a student has passed an actuarial exam prior to taking the corresponding course, the course must be waived and replaced by another elective. Actuaries are highly educated business executives who specialize in the evaluation of insurance and financial risks. They hold positions of responsibility with insurance companies, consulting firms, investment banks, self-insurers, government regulators, and government insurance programs.
Because of their valuable talents and expertise, actuaries are generally well compensated, and often rise to the highest levels of management. While undergraduates, students prepare for and take some of the professional examinations given by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society.
These examinations cover topics such as calculus and linear algebra, mathematical probability and statistics, compound interest theory, life contingencies, risk management and insurance, accounting, economics, finance, and law. Students should meet with the program director as soon as they enter the actuarial science program.
In addition to their course work and professional examinations, students are strongly encouraged to become active in the Sigma chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, Temple's national award-winning professional student organization in Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science.
