Actuarial science is an interdisciplinary research area that focuses on the quantification, assessment and managing of risks and uncertainty arising from insurance and financial industries. However, as a scientific discipline, actuarial science is more broadly defined and extends beyond traditional boundaries of areas of actuarial practice. Our actuarial faculty members are actively at the forefront of expanding actuarial knowledge and developing cutting edge analytical and statistical techniques in a wide range of topics, many of which are sponsored by the Society of Actuaries and the Actuarial Foundation.
