Five New Universities Join CAS University Recognition Program
The CAS is excited to announce the addition of five colleges and universities being honored through the CAS University Recognition Program for their commitment to preparing students for the property and casualty actuarial field, bringing the total of schools recognized by the CAS to over 50. We commend the faculty and staff at these universities for their efforts in equipping students with the essential skills and knowledge needed for successful careers as Property and Casualty actuaries.
This year, the CAS achieved a significant milestone by expanding its University Recognition Program into Latin America. The Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil has become the latest institution to join this prestigious group of global leaders in actuarial education.
The CAS University Recognition Program offers three levels of recognition; Bronze, Silver, and Gold. All schools recognized are featured on a CAS website list that employers and prospective students can consider as a “go to” resource for identifying programs focused on property and casualty actuarial education.
Through the latest round of applications, three universities are being recognized the Silver Level, and two at the Bronze Level.
Silver Level
Universities that have achieved the Silver Level are preparing their students for careers as property and casualty actuaries by covering material on the CAS credentialing pathway within their curriculum, offering real world experiences through property and casualty research, case studies, and case competitions, and having CAS actuaries represented on their advisory boards.
- Universidade de São Paulo
- University of Waterloo
- Taylor’s University, Malaysia
Bronze Level
Universities at the Bronze Level are exposing their students to the property and casualty actuarial career path through their participation in the CAS’s University Programs including the University Liaison Program, Student Central Program, Student Ambassador Program, and Academic Central Program.
- Purdue University Fort Wayne
- Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, China
We look forward to continuing partnership with these five outstanding universities!
Applications are open to all universities on a rolling basis.
