Program Mission:

Actuarial Science is a discipline that uses probability, statistics, and other mathematical methods to assess risk and its financial impact. Finance, economics and computer science are also important components of actuarial study. Actuaries, who must pass a series of rigorous professional exams to be fully credentialed, find employment with insurance companies, banks, government agencies, investment houses, consulting firms, and many other kinds of organizations.

The mission of the Morgan State University Actuarial Science Program, recognized and approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, is to increase the number of highly qualified students, especially among underrepresented populations, entering careers in actuarial and actuarial-related fields.
