Actuarial Science at Bentley University

Companies rely on actuaries to assess risk and forecast performance—which is no easy gig. Actuaries must understand a range of subjects, from math and statistics to economics and computer science—and how they work together. Actuarial scientists turn loads of information into solid business decisions. That’s where we come in. Businesses need insights from actuary scientists to succeed, and Bentley is ranked among the top 25 Actuarial Science degrees in the nation by College Choice. You'll gain skills in analytics, human behavior, business, math and decision-making that will prepare you for this in-demand field. By the time you graduate, you’ll be highly prepared for the first set of professional actuary exams and you’ll have credit toward future tests. 

As an Actuarial Science major, you will graduate with a broad knowledge of business by completing courses that are part of the Business Administration minor. You will also have the option of complementing your Actuarial Science major with a Business Administration major, or any other approved Bentley major, by using some of your free electives to take additional courses.
