Associate and Fellow status conferred by
the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society
(CAS) represent a professional's commitment to and standing within
the insurance, pension and employee benefits consulting
industries. Individuals who earn these memberships can
significantly enhance their professional opportunities within the
industry. The Center for Professional Education offers a
comprehensive program designed to provide candidates with the
knowledge and skills they need to pass the SOA- and
CAS-administered national/international exams, leading to the
following designations:
- Associate, Society of Actuaries
(ASA)
- Associate, Casualty Actuarial Society
(ACAS)
- Fellow, Society of Actuaries
(FSA)
- Fellow, Casualty Actuarial Society
(FCAS)
Students receive assistance in preparing
for the national exams and earning professional designations, and
often have higher pass ratios than the national average.
The Center maintains a policy that permits students who do not pass
the exams to re-take courses free of tuition charges within two
months of the course's end, provided that the student attended at
least 80 percent of the classes.
The Faculty
All instructors have Professional
Memberships in the SOA and CAS.
