As a student in the actuarial mathematics program, you will master mathematical theory and apply your knowledge to solve real problems in the actuarial industry. Actuaries play a key role in insurance companies, financial institutions, and government agencies. This program provides training for students who want to work as actuaries, and includes instruction in the basic mathematics that underlie the operations of private and social insurance and employee benefit plans.
With a background and training in actuarial mathematics, you could go on to become an actuary, economist, insurance underwriter, financial investment analyst, or financial risk analyst, to name just a few occupations.
The program information listed here reflects the approved curriculum for the 2025–26 academic year per the Brooklyn College Bulletin. Bulletins from past academic years can be found here.

Candidates for a B.S. degree with a major in actuarial mathematics must complete at least 60 credits in science and mathematics; 34 of these 60 credits must be completed in advanced courses in the Mathematics Department. 24 of these credits (not including Mathematics 2001, 2101, and 2201) must be completed at Brooklyn College with a grade of C- or higher in each course.
The following courses may be applied toward the 60 credits in science and mathematics:
