As an Associate of the Society of Actuaries (ASA) and an Enrolled Actuary (EA),

I can attest to the quality of the actuarial program. Dr. Tolley, the head of the Stats department, is a stud.

Ziggy was an actuarial science graduate. He helped our football team.

So you're saying we need more actuaries on the team?

Mems

At least ones that are 6'6', 280 and run 4.5-4.6

Indy Coug

I know plenty of actuaries that are 280, not many that are also 6'6 and run that fast though.

A great career choice if you are good at math tests.

Couldn't have been as good as his stories about rigged Jai Alai tournaments in Miami.

Tolley hasn't been head for a while. Reese is CPMS dean and Hartman is program director.

I was at BYU when Reese first joined the department.

Wow, no kidding. He was there when I was a student and that was awhile ago.

Our students are in the 90th percentile of actuarial tables?

If the regression line fits...

I fail to reject that there is a high degree of correlation.

Actuaries are people who are too boring to be accountants.
