You want to model the future, solve problems involving risk, and make financial decisions that will affect the futures of corporations, communities and investors. This combined program offers you a direct path to an actuarial career with a financial sector specialization. Very few students are accepted into this program. It’s already an achievement to be accepted into our actuarial mathematics program. It’s then equally challenging to study Finance at the John Molson School of Business. In the program, you take all the Actuarial Mathematics coursework: studying statistics, probability, and learning mathematical models to solve problems involving uncertainty. Then, you combine accounting, economics and finance courses, learning to analyze time, money and risk to build wealth. Plus, you can complete a co-op program, working with actuaries who design, finance, and operate insurance, pension and other benefit plans. At the end of your degree, you will enter a career field that has a great demand for specialists in actuarial finance. Our programs are provisionally accredited by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA). Grads gain exemptions to four of the preliminary professional exams of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. Concordia University is designated as a Centre of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries.

Actuarial Mathematics alumni work in many fields requiring mathematics expertise, including: * Mathematical modelling * Investment banking * Finance and insurance * Pension management
