The University of Connecticut’s actuarial science program is a vibrant program with nearly 500 undergraduates, 25 master’s students and 6 Ph.D. students.

It is one of the few Actuarial Science programs of its kind in the New England.

The University of Connecticut’s Actuarial Science Program has been a Society of Actuaries’ recognized Center of Actuarial Excellence (CAE) every year since 2009 and was one of the original 13 schools named worldwide.  Today, it is one of just 33 schools so recognized throughout the world and the only one in New England.  In 2016, the program was also named as a Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) University Award Winner—one of just 4 schools so identified in the first year of the CAS Award.  That recognition is available once every 3 years, and the UConn program won that award again the next time it was eligible in 2019.
