Statistical Sciences, Actuarial Sciences & Data Analytics

Western’s program provides students with a wide breadth of knowledge. Our students are required to complete at least one Arts, one Social Science credit, and two full essay credits.

Our programs are accredited by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA), which allows students to apply to the CIA for exemptions from some of the actuarial exams.

Western has the prestigious Centers of Actuarial Excellence (CAE) designation from the Society of Actuaries (SOA).

Students involved in the study of statistical and actuarial sciences possess computing skills in various statistical packages and have been introduced to data analysis, probability, elementary modelling, regression, and experimental design.

Our students have interned for a broad range of companies such as Manulife, Sun Life, AON Hewit and London Life.
