The continuing growth of insurance and governmental agencies has maintained a constant demand for qualified actuaries. Thiel's Actuarial Studies program has the following goals:


1. To provide students with the mathematical training and business background needed to enter the actuarial profession directly.
2. To prepare students for advanced study in actuarial science at a university.

A student who graduates from Thiel College with a major in actuarial studies will:
• understand and be able to apply the three basic concepts from calculus: limits, differentiation and integration.
• have a strong understanding of probability and statistics and be able to apply statistical methods to complex problems.
• understand and be able to apply the basic concepts of vector algebra and vector calculus.
• be able to construct logical proofs.
• understand the power and limitations of technologies (e.g., calculators and computers) as problem-solving tools.
