3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 506 or concurrent with ACSC 506 The student is expected to identify steps in the modeling process. Specifically, the candidate is expected to be able to perform the tasks such as; apply limited fluctuation (classical)credibility including criteria for both full and partial credibility, perform Bayesian analysis using both discrete and continuous models, apply B, hlmann and B, hlmann-Straub models and understand the relationship of these to the Bayesian model, apply conjugate priors in Bayesian analysis and in particular the Poisson-gamma Model, apply empirical Bayesian methods in the nonparametric and semiparametric Cases, simulate both discrete and continuous random variables using the inversion Method, estimate the number of simulations needed to obtain an estimate with a given error and a given degree of confidence, use simulation to determine the p-value for a hypothesis test, use the bootstrap method to estimate the mean squared error of an estimator, and apply simulation methods within the context of actuarial models. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course combined with ACSC 506 will cover the materials for Actuarial Professional exam C. One presentation will be needed for this course.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 522 The course covers applications of economic theory to financial markets and modeling. The student is exposed to modern corporate finance theory and applications, advanced derivatives and financial markets pricing and modeling, and information theory and efficient markets theory.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 610 The course covers the theoretical basis of certain actuarial models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. The topics include interest rate models, rational valuation of derivative securities, simulation, and risk management techniques. A thorough knowledge of calculus, probability, and interest theory is assumed. Basic knowledge of risk management is also assumed. One presentation will be needed for this course.

3.00 Credits
This course will be offered with the Career Education Office. Students are expected to report to the advisor the experience they gain from the internship. The final written project about the internship experience is required.
Maximum cooperative education credits is 6 for major.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 522 with at least a “C” This course extends the student’s knowledge of the theoretical basis of actuarial models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. This is in addition to the courses ACSC 521 and ACSC 522. The topics cover the models, survival and severity models, Frequency models, Compound (aggregate) models, and Life contingencies. After taking these courses, the students are expected to know the how and why models are used, their advantages and their limitations. The students will be expected to understand what important results can be obtained from these models for making business decisions. Note: After taking these courses, students are expected to take Actuarial Science Professional Exam M (It was exam 3)

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 506, Minimum grade C This course extends the student’s knowledge of Construction and Evaluation of Actuarial Models. The topics cover important actuarial methods that are useful in modeling, the steps involved in business problems, analyze data from an application in a business context, determine a suitable model including parameter values, provide measures of confidence for decisions based upon the calibration and evaluation of the models on actuarial mathematics. After taking the course, the students are expected to know how and why modeling methods are used, their advantages and their limitations. The students will be expected to understand what important results can be obtained from these modeling methods for making business decisions. Note: After taking this course, students are expected to take Actuarial Science Professional Exam C (formerly exam 4).

1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of adviser
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of adviser. This course covers the materials in the field of Finance and Enterprise Risk Management. The topics include some of the following Corporate Finance and Financial Strategy, capital Management, and Risk Management. After taking this course, the students are expected be able to use various methods to evaluate risk-return trade-offs to choose from available alternatives. Note: This course will cover part of Actuarial Science Professional Exam 8.

3.00 Credits
This course is a historical survey which presents a global view of art from prehistoric art in Europe through the 14th century. Content introduces beginning students to the works of all artists, including women and artists of color. Note: The accelerated Weekend and Evening College format of this course will be augmented by a faculty-prescribed one-credit independent learning experience.
