  • M.S. in Math with a Concentration in Actuarial Statistics: This degree provides advanced skills and knowledge to individuals seeking actuarial careers in insurance and financial institutions. In addition to acquiring statistical and computational skills, the required courses for this concentration are designed to prepare students for the Actuarial Exams needed to earn an Actuarial Designation. Students may apply for the “Early Entry Program” and begin with the graduate degree before completion of the BA/BS. Catalog

Analytic and quantitative skills have become increasingly important as business practices have become more theoretical and vast amounts of data have become available along with the computing power to analyze it. Traditional undergraduate mathematics programs have been oriented to pure mathematics or towards applications in physics or engineering.

The Mathematics and Statistics Department of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is now offering a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics for Business.The Mathematics for Business program is a solid and practical applied mathematics program that tightens the focus on business applications to better prepare students for a successful career path in the areas of insurance, finance, banking, and economics.

The Mathematics for Business program has a B.A. and a B.S. degree track. The B.S. program offers concentrations in Actuarial Science, Operations Research, and Mathematics Economic/Finance. Graduates of the proposed program in Mathematics for Business will be a valuable asset to the community. They will bring expertise in Mathematics, Statistics, and Operations Research along with excellent analytic skills to businesses, financial institutions, insurance firms, and governments of the area. The B.S. degree program when partnered with a program in Economics or Finance is an excellent stepping stone to graduate work in the areas of Economics, Finance, or Mathematical Finance.

Students in this program are also eligible to receive an Undergraduate Certificate in Actuarial Studies. More information
