Seven New Universities Join CAS University Recognition Program
The CAS is excited to announce the addition of seven 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.
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, two universities are being recognized at the Gold Level, three at the Silver Level, and two at the Bronze Level.
Gold Level
Universities recognized at Gold Level have achieved the highest level possible of the CAS University Recognition Program. In addition to meeting the criteria for both the Bronze and Silver Levels, they offer dedicated property/casualty insurance courses, place property and casualty actuaries on their faculty and/or advisory boards, and graduate actuarial students with jobs in the P&C field and who have obtained credit for CAS credentialing requirements.
- St. John’s University
- University of St. Thomas
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.
- Pennsylvania State University
- Renmin University of China
- University of Texas at Dallas
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.
- Nankai University
- Tribhuvan University
We look forward to continuing partnership with these seven outstanding universities!
Applications are open to all universities on a rolling basis.
