NOTE: Effective July 2018 and going forward, the course Regression and Multivariate Data Analysis (STAT-UB 17) can no longer be used to satisfy the Actuarial Science concentration requirements as an advanced elective. This is due to changes in the Actuarial accreditation requirements for the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society.
Students who have taken this course prior to fall 2018 will still be permitted to count the course toward the Actuarial Science concentration and will also be able to satisfy the accreditation requirements of the Actuarial Societies. However, they will not be able to satisfy the Actuarial accreditation requirements of the actuarial societies if they take it on or after the Fall semester of 2018.
