Stats
# 1 Job in US (per WJ)
# 1 School for Recruiters (per BusinessWeek)
Largest Actuarial Program in US
About 150 exam passers per year
About ½ from Smeal & ½ from Eberly (Math & Stat)
Center of Actuarial Excellence – only 15 in US
But It’s A Very Difficult Degree
If not taking Actuarial Exams, it is best to choose another major
Students with A’s and high B’s in Calculus and Probability: pass exams, get jobs
Take STAT 414 & SOA Probability Exam (P) - 3rd Semester
Take RM 410 & SOA Financial Math Exam (FM) - 4th Semester
Take RM 415 & SOA Financial Economics Exam (MFE) - 5th Semester
Internship + 3 Exams to get a job

Get Started Early!
Three ways to get into RM 410 in 4th Semester: 1.
Take a calculus course in summer 2.
Take MATH 231 and STAT 414 concurrently (MATH 230 for Eberly students) 3.
Take MATH 141 in first semester (see footnote on slide 9)
You must be in Major to register for RM 410
Smeal students must have 44 credits are PSU & FIN 301 to enter major
Take RM 297 with STAT 414 – very helpful in passing 414 and the P Exam

23. Applied Statistical Methods: VEE  Exam 2018
Accepted Courses: take one from each
Applied Regression (must include Generalized Linear Models in 2018)
STAT 462, 501, or 421; or ECON 306 (and maybe STAT 460)
ECON prerequisite can be satisfied by Stat 414
Applied Time Series
STAT 463 (STAT 510 or ECON 483 if available)
You can mix and match.
ECON 485 may satisfy both – check SOA’s VEE website
Get STAT Minor - if also take:
STAT 415 (Mathematical Statistics) VEE in 2018 already required in Eberly
STAT 416 (Stochastic Processes) covers material in CAS Exam S
STAT 480 (Intro to SAS - 1 credit) STAT 483 is better
Some get ECON Minor
Take ECON 302/304 & 6 credits of 400 level ECON such as 445 (Health Policy), 412 (Labor), 444 (Corp), & 457 (Banking)

26. Best Practices to Learn & Pass Exams
reference
Read the book
Don’t just read the words.  Read them until you understand them.
Take notes on what you read
Create a synopsis to refer to later
Reproduce the calculations in the examples
Ensure they are right. author with corrections
Don’t trust what you read, unless and until you agree with it
Take the class on the subject
Be engaged in class
Use recommended study manual on each exam
Do lots of sample exam questions (with required calculators)
Without looking at the answers first
Work on a HW team. Talk to your teammates about the class
Talk to your actuarial mentor about the material 
We assign mentors to all rising Juniors.  Do you have a mentor?
Meet with prof on lectures points and HW you don’t understand

International students get jobs in US

If citizen or permanent resident, put near top of resume
Communication as important as exams
Join HW groups with US students
Talk English all the time!
Having US roommates has worked well
Important to pass Exam P & FM in Sophomore year
3 exams to get Full-Time Job
If can’t get internship or FT job, try grad school first
See Club website on requirements for Grad School Recommendation
Need good GPA & take RM 415
PSU has Masters in Applied Statistics (MAS). You can be a TA for RM 412 or 401
