BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Actuarial Science and another subject

The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Actuarial Science with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science or the College of Sustainability.  Actuarial Science may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA.

Students enrolled in a Double Major program must have their program of study approved by advisors in both subject areas.
