The Society of Actuaries has again certified Central College for all three Validation by Educational Experience areas–Economics, Accounting and Finance, and Mathematical Statistics. Central previously was certified for all three areas before the SOA made changes to its structure in June 2018. The Society added accounting to what was in Corporate Finance, creating a larger Accounting and Finance experience. It also changed the Applied Statistics to a more theoretical Mathematical Statistics program. Professor of mathematics Mark Mills said the certification required an overhaul of Central’s junior-senior level statistics course, covering a large amount of advanced statistical theory that hadn’t previously been included in the course. He introduced the learning objectives in the course’s curriculum this past spring and then submitted it for certification.
