Risk Management and Insurance News
The Actuarial Science, Risk Management and Insurance department in
the Wisconsin School of Business recently added an exciting new program.
The Capstone Certificate in Actuarial Science is a 9-month tailored
program that strategically prepares students for a career as an actuary.
Program director, Professor Edward (Jed) Frees, emphasizes, “The
Capstone is not a degree program; it is a certificate program that
prepares students to pass the required actuarial credentialing exams.”
The
new Capstone program emphasizes flexibility and a relatively short time
to completion. Students can choose either a full-time or part-time
learning track based upon their availability and timetable. Graduates
will receive transcripts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and
will gain access to many resources offered by the Wisconsin School of
Business. Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall
semester 2011. For more information about the Capstone Certificate in
Actuarial Science please visit our website.
Actuary is frequently listed among the top jobs in the U.S. by the Jobs Rated Almanac.
