This page contains pointers to material about actuarial studies at UBC. Make sure to read/visit:

• The Society of Actuaries' website, full of information about careers, education, exams, etc. For VEE credit and exams look under "education." The current list of courses approved for VEE Credit is here.
• An overview about actuarial studies at UBC.

Please note that, to the best of my understanding, undergrad math majors will have to take a course outside of UBC to get VEE Corporate Finance Credit. This is because this VEE credit requires a course equivalent to COMM 374, and COMM 374 is restricted to certain Commerce students at present (and probably in the foreseeable future). As far as I know there exists no UBC course equivalent to COMM 374 to which a math major would have access.

A number of you have asked about VEE credit approval (see the above link to the overview). Notice that the SOA has to approve your coursework for VEE credit; I and other UBC faculty do not have the authority to approve your coursework, although we can take a guess at what they will approve. You can apply for VEE credit as an individual (after you have passed two exams), or a UBC department representative can apply. In either case the SOA requires a formal application with various information about the course (see the overview above). I am happy to apply for your coursework to be approved, but the more information you can provide me with, the sooner I'll be able to apply.

If you'd like to come by to discuss actuarial studies further, please e-mail me a list of times that are good for you. You can also e-mail me some questions if you like.
