Master of Science - MS in Actuarial Science Georgia State University - JAGSOM (Pathway)

Georgia State's Master of Actuarial Science offers a STEM-designated curriculum covering advanced topics including InsurTech, actuarial analytics, and machine learning. Students complete real-world, hands-on “sprint” projects, and emerge prepared to take the actuarial exams administered by the Society of Actuaries. The program covers coding and statistical methods as well as key actuarial topics. Students can complete the degree in person (in Atlanta) or fully online, and can study full-time or part-time after work. The program is geared toward students with quantitative backgrounds, both with and without prior actuarial training.
