Testimonials

"There is no stopping an Actuary, because they have the skill sets to tear through the data. Numbers are so important, and becoming more so. If you have the skill-set, you are going to be golden for the rest of your life"

"What I like about the leadership is the focus on the business-savvy skills, the communication skills—to my knowledge—more than any other university with an Actuarial Science program. If you talk to business executives, this is what they are looking for. They say that they like Actuaries and they can use them in more executive positions if they have that business-savvy advantage. Columbia provides it.

The Enterprise Risk credential is the most rigorous credential globally in Enterprise Risk Management, and Columbia helps prepare you for that. They are on the cutting edge of where jobs are going to be. 70% of the student population is international, so you become part of a truly global network."

"At Columbia you get all the benefits and contacts of an Ivy League school. There is a lot of international business in New York City, so it’s a very powerful networking opportunity. Being a successful Actuary is about getting to the table, and being able to convince technicians and non-technicians what your findings are and what the solutions are."
