Actuarial Science
Actuarial science stands at the
intersection of risk and money. Actuaries are
experts in evaluating the likelihood and financial
consequences of future events, designing creative ways
to reduce the cost of undesirable events, and
decreasing the impact of tragic events that do occur.
They are in great demand by insurance companies,
consulting firms and financial institutions. A student
with strong mathematical aptitude graduating with an
actuarial science concentration will be prepared to
pass the first three professional examinations given by
the Society of Actuaries.

Business and Public Policy
The Business and Public
concentration provides skills and insights that are
useful to future private and public managers, lawyers,
economists and political scientists as well as policy
analysts. The concentration combines elements of
economic and political analysis in order to understand
the interactions between market and political processes
(political economy) and the positive and normative
aspects of government activity (public policy and
management). Students concentrating in BPUB go on to
positions in government, in private firms (particularly
consulting and investment banking) and in the
not-for-profit sector. The concentration also provides
a firm base for graduate study in law, economics,
public policy and political science.
The concentration in Business and
Public Policy consists of 2 policy analysis core
courses and 2 applied public policy courses:
