Actuarial Science
This interdisciplinary minor is designed for students planning to seek certification from the Society of Actuaries (SOA), who need to fulfill Validation of Educational Experience (VEE) credit. Augustana offers courses approved by SOA to fulfill all VEE requirements, allowing students to move more efficiently toward certification. The SOA has approved the courses listed below to fulfill VEE credit in the three indicated areas:
- Economics
ECON 1100 – Principles of Microeconomics, and
ECON 1200 – Principles of Macroeconomics
- Applied Statistical Methods
MATH 3602 – Probability, and
ECON 3730 – Econometrics
- Finance
FINC 3330 – Principles of Finance or
FINC 4330 – Advanced Finance
To complete the minor, students must complete courses satisfying at least two of the three VEE areas and their pre-requisites which total between 13 and 16 credits outside their major. Because of the limitations on credit hours:
- Math majors may request the waiver of one required course (ECON 3730), in which case they will satisfy VEEs in Economics and Finance,
- Business Administration and Accounting majors must take FINC 4330.
