BA in Actuarial Science (Honours) in Toronto Canada | York University

Actuarial Science is the mathematical field that uses quantitative approaches to evaluate risks in insurance and financial sectors. It emerged as a distinct discipline in the late 1600s, responding to growing needs for long-term insurance products like life coverage, retirement annuities, and funeral expense policies. Over centuries, actuaries have focused on determining current financial values of future liabilities and analyzing their fluctuations across life/health insurance, property/casualty coverage, pension systems, and social welfare initiatives. Modern actuaries now also work in corporate risk management, investment strategies, and broader financial sectors.
