Case Competition

The Actuarial Science Program at UT holds a case competition every semester for students to apply what they have learned in their classes and practice their presentation skills. In the past, the program has partnered with companies such as Willis Towers Watson and Cigna to develop the cases and judge competitors. Our Case Competition Student Committee helps ensure the cases are reasonably difficult and that the competition runs smoothly.

"One of the biggest takeaways is just learning how to tackle a big project as a group. Learning communication and team work as you try and accomplish a problem no one has seen before makes for a great experience. It was also great practice for presentation skills and communicating one's thought process through a complicated problem..."
