Learn more about your impact
Founding faculty members of the ASU Actuarial Program (ACT) in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Al Boggess, May Boggess, Jelena Milovanovic and Matt Hassett, are committed to identifying and nurturing talents of future actuarial science scholars. The school has been an important source of actuarial employees for Arizona insurance since 1994 and as of fall 2014 has a fully recognized BS degree. In fall 2018, a master of science in actuarial science degree was introduced. This program provides possibilities for the school to collaborate with the local actuarial industry on research in areas such as trend forecasting, predictive analytics, reserving and pricing. With your generous support, these pioneers can help launch the career of future actuary.
