OSU Earns Prestigious Center of Actuarial Excellence Designation

Center of Actuarial Excellence logo

The Society of Actuaries (SOA) has awarded Ohio State University’s Actuarial Science program the prestigious designation of a Center of Actuarial Excellence (CAE). This recognition is granted to universities with outstanding actuarial programs and provides opportunities to compete for education and research grants.

To qualify as a CAE, actuarial programs must meet a rigorous set of criteria, including a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with the necessary knowledge to become Associates of the Society of Actuaries (ASA). Additionally, programs must consistently produce a significant number of highly sought-after graduates who are trained by expert faculty renowned for their active research contributions. Strong industry connections are also essential, demonstrated through initiatives such as career fairs and robust alumni networks.
