Master of Science in Actuarial Science

The Actuarial Science M.Sc. program offers exposure to a range of advanced actuarial topics and techniques. The program combines training in fundamental statistical methods and their applications in actuarial science, a project in the application or development of actuarial methodology, and the possibility of gaining work experience and course credit through the co-operative education program. The M.Sc. program prepares students for careers as actuaries in industry, government, consulting, and research organizations. In addition, graduates have the foundational training to continue on to Ph.D. studies.Our faculty members in actuarial science produce internationally recognized research. For example, according to the actuarial research ranking system developed by the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, SFU currently is ranked in second place in North America and in third place worldwide in the category of "Non-Business School Actuarial Science Rankings" for four leading actuarial journals. As a graduate student, you will have the opportunity to be mentored by these talented individuals.
