Possible Career Opportunities

There are two groups of students for whom this BSLAS degree would be attractive. The first group would be students who want to obtain positions focused on advanced quantitative skills after graduating with this degree. For example, these students could seek positions in research departments of corporations and government agencies and work with large administrative data sets on consumers or firms. In particular, these students would have the preparation to perform more advanced market analyses and policy evaluations. These students would also be well-prepared for positions in consulting and financial firms. Many companies (Capital One, BP, AON, Jump Trading, Deloitte, and many others) have emphasized the need for economics graduates with a strong quantitative background, and the BSLAS degree will provide these students. The second group of students would be students who need advanced training in econometrics and quantitative methods in order to apply for graduate programs. Some would apply for Ph.D. programs in economics or finance, and others would apply for rigorous Masters programs in these areas and also statistics. Students with an interest in these graduate programs will have the quantitative/ economics background required build into their degree, which is not the case for the BALAS degree.

Actuarial Science

Major Description

An actuary is a combination of business executive, mathematician, financier, sociologist, and investment manager. Actuaries are problem solvers who use actuarial science to define, analyze, and solve the financial, economic, and other business applications of future events.

The actuary’s responsibilities date back to the early 1800’s, when most actuarial work centered on developing mortality tables and life insurance policies. Today most actuaries are best known for their work in the insurance and pension fields, where they design financially secure benefit programs to protect people. But that is changing, and actuaries are finding themselves involved in many other areas.

Trained to analyze uncertainty, risk, and probabilities, actuaries create and manage programs which will reduce the adverse financial impact of the expected and unexpected things that happen to people and businesses. These programs focus on areas such as life, health, property, casualty, and investment possibilities.
