The object of the degree is to prepare students to sit for exams to gain certification as an actuary. One of the optional certifications that individuals may pursue is completion of the VEE requirements from the Society of Actuaries or the Casualty Actuarial Society. This certification requires additional experience not covered in the maximum credits allowed for the degree. However, students may decide to include these additional courses in their 12 hours of elective credit. ASU courses that meet VEE requirements include: STP 427, ECN 211 (SOBE), ECN 212 and FIN 300.
