Some more recommendations:
​Common minors that we see taken with Actuarial Science are Management Information Systems (MIS), Finance, and Business Analytics.
Common second majors we see taken with Actuarial Science are Management Information Systems (MIS) and Finance. Several alumni have recommended though, that students not add a second major and use that time instead to pass more actuarial exams.
