Master of Science [M.S] [Actuarial Science] From St. John's University

Actuaries are professionals who use their strong quantitative skills to place a price on risk.  Pricing risk allows insurance companies to provide coverage against a variety of loss events, occurrences that can range from a tree falling on a house to a satellite launch failing to a cargo ship sinking. The pricing of risk is also essential for governments to successfully provide social welfare programs and insurance protection against catastrophic risks such as flooding.
