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. Volunteers from the student-run Actuarial Science Club help ensure the cases are a reasonable difficulty and that the competition day runs smoothly.
Why Should You Compete?
"I wish opportunities like this had been available when I was a student. The case study was a very realistic simulation of a typical industry challenge. As a result, these students will be more prepared for a career in actuarial science."

It was also great practice for presentation skills and communicating one's thought process through a complicated problem..."
