Prerequisite: ACSC 514, ACSC Graduate students only This course covers the mathematical theory of compound interest with applications to investments and corporate finance. Topics include accumulation of interest in discrete and continuous time, nominal and effective interest, present and future values, annuities and variable cash flows, loans, valuation of stocks, bonds and other securities, and the assessment of corporate financial performance using standard financial models. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course is for graduate students only.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 514, ACSC Grad student or permission of program director This course covers financial theory, with emphasis on mathematical models, topics include the value of common stocks, risk and return, portfolio theory, capital budgeting issues, capital structure, strategic long-term financing decisions, financial statement ratio analysis and the valuation of options including the Black-Scholes formula. A project on portfolio design and analysis is required for the course. Students who get a grade of B- or better will receive credit for Corporate Finance from the Society of Actuaries. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course is for graduate students only.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 371, ACSC 414, Permission of program director This course is the first part of the sequential courses in actuarial modeling to develop the student’s knowledge of the theoretical basis of actuarial models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. Topics include survival models, life tables, mortality rates, life insurance, life annuities, benefit premiums, and benefit reserves. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course covers a part of Actuarial Exam MLC.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 521 This course is the second part of the sequential courses in actuarial modeling to develop the student’s knowledge of the theoretical basis of actuarial models and the application of those models to insurance and other financial risks. Topics include analysis of benefits reserves, multiple life functions, multiple decrement models, frequency and severity models, compound distribution models, Poisson process models, insurance models including expenses and Markov chain models. A project on the above topics and presentation is required for the course. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course covers a part of Actuarial Exam MLC.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of Program Director, ACSC Graduate students only Topics include classical basic concepts of inference, inference for single samples, inference for two samples, inferences for proportion, simple linear regression and advance estimation methods including Moment, Maximum Likelihood, and Bayesian Estimation. This course is calculus-based. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course is for graduate students only. Cross-listed: See MATH 372
-
1.00 - 6.00 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.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 371 or MATH 371 or concurrent with ACSC/MATH 371, Permission of Program Director This is a capstone seminar on probabilities. It challenges the student’s preparation for the Actuarial Examination P (formerly exam 1) of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuaries Society. Though Calculus will not be tested in exam P, a sound foundation in Calculus I through III is assumed. The theory of probability will be applied to problem solving, using classification and other approaches. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course is for actuarial science majors and graduate students only.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: ACSC 515 and permission of program director This is a capstone seminar on financial mathematics. It prepares students for the Actuarial Examination FM of the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuaries Society using theory of interest. A variety of problem solving situations will be discussed. BA-35 or BA-35II calculators on the exam FM will be used. The students must be prepared to participate actively in the problem solving processes. A presentation of one project is required for the course. Note: This course is for actuarial science majors and graduate students only.
