MASTER OF ACTUARIAL SCIENCE (MAS)



Which courses help MAS students prepare for SOA/CAS exams?

Georgia State University's MAS program aims to train students on a broad theoretical foundation and hands-on risk modeling skills, which go beyond what actuarial professional exams typically require. We believe that this is the best way to prepare graduates who are entering the rapidly changing field of actuarial & risk management services.

Nevertheless, the following courses help students prepare for Society of Actuaries professional certification exams:

Exam P: MGS 9920 Probability & Statistical Theory I (foundation requirement)
   
Exam FM : AS 4230 Theory of Interest
   
Exam M (LC): AS 8340 Life Contingencies (required)
