In addition to the University graduate admission requirements, students holding a BS in Actuarial Sciences or a close field with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 or the equivalent will be accepted, while those with a cumulative GPA of 2.7-2.99 or the equivalent will be conditionally accepted. The conditional acceptance will be removed when the student receives a minimum of a “B” average for the 6 credits taken during his/her first semester. Students from other relevant majors may be also given conditional admission pending completion of some supplementary courses over and above the 30 credits required for the MS in Actuarial Sciences, as specified by the faculty graduate committee, with a minimum of a “B” average. These supplementary credits do not count towards the 30 credits required for the MS degree. Normally, a maximum of nine transfer credits from previous graduate work completed at another accredited institution of higher education may be transferred upon the discretion of the faculty graduate committee.
