An actuary is a person who works for insurance or investment companies and is primarily responsible for determining rates and benefits for insurance policies and retirement instruments. The profession of actuary regularly ranks near the top in surveys of job satisfaction of all professions. One becomes an actuary, and progresses in the profession, by passing tests administered by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society, which govern the profession. The actuarial emphasis program at Pittsburg State University is designed to help a student pass the first two of these exams before graduation and to give the student an adequate foundation to begin work as an actuary and to progress in the exam sequence.
