Actuarial Science, Master of Science

St. John's University

Actuaries are professionals who use their strong quantitative skills to place a price on risk. Pricing risk allows insurance companies to provide coverage against a variety of loss events, occurrences that can range from a tree falling on a house to a satellite launch failing to a cargo ship sinking. The pricing of risk is also essential for governments to successfully provide social welfare programs and insurance protection against catastrophic risks such as flooding. The program consists of 10 courses for a total of 30 credit hours, and can be completed by full-time students in 18 months. With personalized career advising and referrals, a strong alumni network, speaker panels, networking events and two specialized career fairs each year, our students successfully connect with internship and job opportunities. Our graduates are working in the fields of enterprise risk management, corporate risk management, commercial underwriting, claims and brokerage, consulting and actuarial.
