kinggeorge · Answer

Is actuarial science a major? Where I am you would be a math major with a focus on applied math, with a minor or major in economics.

kinggeorge · Answer

And then enter the actuarial program. I'm not quite sure what it is since it isn't a major or minor.

lukecrayonz · Answer

I live in Florida and I know FSU has an actuuarial program, so I know I'm going to be attending there.

kinggeorge · Answer

In that case, Actuarial Science as a major, and make sure to take some statistics as well.

Would you suggest me getting my stock brokers license, M.BA and Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) exam as well as ASA http://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/edu-asa-req.aspx

kinggeorge · Answer

I honestly don't know. I'm not an actuary myself, nor do I plan to be one.
