ASCI2010 - Fundamentals Of Actuarial Sci
Summer 2013 This course is directed both to majors and non-majors of Actuarial Science. The course is designed as a survey of the professional field of actuarial science, as certified by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. The role of actuarials in the financial evaluation of risk in strategic management decision-making is emphasized. Introduction to the roles of linear algebra, statistics and probability, risk theory, and actuarial mathematics to topics of pricing, loss reserving, and insurance accounting are included. Field experiences, guest lecturers, and computer assignments are part of the learning experiences required for the course. 3 credits Prerequisite: MATH2070 or concurrent 3 Credits |

ASCI3150 - Financial Mathematics
Summer 2013 This course provides a systematic development of the mathematical models most frequently used in the study of corporate finance. The course builds on the valuation methods for cash flows developed in Theory of Interest and applies these methods to problems in corporate finance and investment theory. Models studied include dividend growth, the capital asset pricing model, protfolio theory, Modigliani-Miller theory, and Black-Scholes option valuation. Prerequisite: ASCI3100 3 Credits |

ASCI4000 - Actuarial Seminar II
Summer 2013 This course provides training in the theory of interest, finance, and economics as well as other material pertinent to the actuarial exam Course 2, jointly administered by the SOA and the CAS. The course is structured to allow students to engage in directed self-study in preparation for the exam. Class time will be used for discussion, analysis, bench-marking of progress, and as a general clearing-house for guidance on specific problems. A detailed "deconstruction" of the previous Course 2 exams will provide the central, organizing theme for the course of study. 3 credits. Prerequisite: ASCI3100 3 Credits |
