Studying Actuarial Science and Risk Management at DePauw

The Actuarial Science and Risk Management (ASRM) program at DePauw equips students with technical expertise and business acumen to evaluate and manage risks across industries like insurance, finance, healthcare, and technology. 

Combining mathematics, statistics, finance, and data science, the program emphasizes communication, leadership, and problem-solving. Students benefit from frequent faculty advising, active organizations like Gamma Iota Sigma (GIS) and DASO, career development support, and strong industry connections for internships and job placement. The program also prepares students for the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society exams, ensuring they excel in high-demand, fast-evolving fields.

DePauw took me out of my element. I thrived by utilizing my resources, asking for help, and communicating with people who had different perspectives.
