Core Courses
Based on placement exams or transferred courses, students may place into some more advanced Mathematics and Statistics courses without taking Hunter College prerequisites. See the Mathematics and Statistics department for details. Elective Courses (3 credits)
The student must complete one additional 3-credit statistics or mathematics course approved by the undergraduate statistics adviser. Actuarial Sequence
A student interested in actuarial work should take the following courses. Students are also encouraged to take courses in accounting, economics and computer science. A student majoring either in Statistics or Mathematics could also complete the Actuarial Sequence as a part of his/her major requirements. A review for the Actuarial Exams is not a part of the curriculum, however, and it is left to the individual student to study for and take those exams. |
