February 26, 2024 Arlington, VA – The Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) has announced that Robert Morris University has qualified for Silver Tier within the CAS University Recognition Program. This program recognizes academic institutions with a demonstrated commitment to preparing property and casualty actuaries through their educational offerings. The CAS is the world’s only actuarial organization focused exclusively on property and casualty risks, serving over 10,000 members worldwide. CAS members work for insurance companies, educational institutions, state insurance departments, federal government agencies, independent consulting firms, and many other organizations that require management of risk. 

The CAS offers three levels of recognition for universities, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Benefits offered through this program are designed to address the specific needs of universities depending on their established tier. 

RMU is one of only 10 universities in the U.S. (2 in PA), and 12 worldwide to be both a Center of Actuarial Excellence and in one of the top two tiers of CAS University Recognition.

“We are thrilled to honor universities through the CAS University Recognition Program,” said Victor Carter-Bey, DM, CEO of the Casualty Actuarial Society. “Recognition at the Silver Tier demonstrates that Robert Morris University is preparing their students for careers as property and casualty actuaries through their actuarial curriculum and real world experiences like research, case studies, and case competitions, and by placing CAS actuaries on their advisory board.”

The CAS University Recognition Program builds upon the former CAS University Award Program introduced in 2016. The university will receive a set of benefits that accompany this honor, including being featured on the official CAS University Recognition Program list on the CAS website.
