Actuarial science program at AUC is a great program from every angle: cohorts, professors, content, career opportunities, activities on camplus. I would do it again and recommend it for everyone with an interest in mathematics and finance.
After being part of the biology program which fosters an incredible research environment, I discovered my passion for research. For many reasons, I am appreciative of AUC’s biology program which helped me delve deep into the world of science and, of course, research.
