help with major in BCommerce/BScience (1 Viewer)

[ricespirit]

hi i'm planning to major in actuarial studies and was wondering what major in science would help me the most, if at all.

also wondering if its recommended to do a double major(in commerce) in anything else that could help me in actuarial studies

thanks in advance and sorry for the stupid question

Science (Advanced Mathematics) or a single/double major in mathematics and/or statistics is the popular choice.

As for the commerce component, you will not be recognised for more than one commerce major.

math or stats

Computer science could also be somewhat useful - a lot of actuarial work involves dealing with databases, reporting systems etc to retrieve data for analysis. Models can get complicated too, so some solid programming experience will be helpful. Ideally one would do maths/computer science/actl but this isn't available (unless actl is through the UK exams).
