Associate status conferred by the Society
of Actuaries (SOA) represents a professional's commitment to and
standing within the insurance, pension and employee benefits
consulting industries. Individuals who earn this membership
can significantly enhance their professional opportunities within
the industry. The Center for Professional Education offers a
comprehensive program designed to provide candidates with the
knowledge and skills they need to pass the SOA-administered
national/international exams.
Students receive assistance in preparing
for the national exams and earning professional designations, and
often have higher pass ratios than the national average.
The Center maintains a policy that permits students who do not pass
the exams to re-take courses free of tuition charges the next time
the course is offered, provided that the student attended at least
80 percent of the classes.
Schedule
Courses are offered during the fall and
spring semesters. To meet the needs of busy professionals, courses
typically are held once a week in the evenings, usually at 5:30
p.m. Each course is designed to allow maximum time to cover all
assignments and to review test-taking strategies. Courses can also
be held off-campus, at an organization's request.
Our offerings for the Spring 2010 semester are
P: Probability (five Sundays beginning January 24),
FM: Financial Mathematics (ten Thursdays beginning January
21),
MLC: Actuarial Models - Life Contingencies Segment (twelve
