Actuarial Program
The Center for Actuarial Science, Insurance, and Risk Management was created from the majors of Actuarial Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences, and Insurance in the Department of Finance. The arrangement is a unique environment for the education of tomorrow’s actuarial science, insurance, and risk management professionals.

The center encourages its faculty to conduct applied research to benefit the insurance industry and the people and businesses dependent upon it, as well as the practitioners of the industry. With talented faculty and students from both areas of study, the center will support additional research topics for the industry to explore and use.

Students in the program are among the first to benefit from the research of their professors. Faculty members also remain in the classroom, inspiring students to become the next generation of critical-thinking industry experts.

The center promotes the quality educational programs within both departments as it enhances the curriculum to continuously meet the needs of the industry. Undergraduates seeking their first jobs, executives wanting to refine their skills, and other professionals looking to further their knowledge and careers all find within the center’s programs the right mix of theory and practice for their needs.

The center brings together today's industry experts with future professionals, creating a forum for interaction between the many people and businesses involved in actuarial science, insurance, risk management, and financial services.

Center students have the opportunity to learn from professionals on the active advisory boards of both the actuarial science and insurance programs, as well as other visiting professionals. Students are also encouraged to attend local, regional, national, and international conferences to meet other industry leaders, often with financial assistance from the industry.

With talented teacher scholars and newly graduated professionals every year (all promoting the understanding and support of the actuarial science, insurance, and risk management disciplines), the center stands to become a recognized leader nationally and internationally in education and research. New research, fresh ideas, and an openness to discover the future of the industry; that's why the Center for Actuarial Science, Insurance, and Risk Management is a leader in the business of education.

Ball State University is making an investment in the future of the insurance industry. .
