What it is	Actuarial Science is the study of statistics, mathematics, and financial risk — you learn to analyze and predict the likelihood and cost of future events to help insurance companies, pension funds, and other businesses make sound financial decisions. It goes deeper into applied math and probability than a general science degree, preparing you for actuarial certification exams. This program suits students who are strong in math, enjoy working with data and logic, and want to move into financial risk management or insurance.	A BA in Mathematics at York means you study pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics — the theory behind numbers, equations, and data analysis. You can choose to do the program with co-op, which means you alternate between semesters of coursework and paid work terms at employers who need mathematical problem-solving skills. This suits people who want flexibility in how they learn and who value real-world experience alongside classroom study.
