Bachelor of Science in Statistics major in Actuarial Science

Program Background

The BS Statistics program major in Actuarial Science (BSSTT-AS) is designed to provide students with the necessary background in statistics, mathematics, and computing that allows them to competently practice their profession. In addition, students are given specialized training in actuarial science in recognition of the fact that actuarial science courses have become statistics-based. The combination of Lasallian Core Curriculum, general, basic, major, specialization, and non-academic courses provides both formal and informal learning opportunities, making the program a balanced and interesting one, giving the students an excellent training for the academe, government service, and industry, and a solid foundation to pursue graduate studies in statistics and allied fields.

Employment Opportunities

Having a solid foundation in statistics, graduates of the BSSTT-AS program are expected to be highly skilled and competitive professionals. They can pursue diverse roles such as statisticians, actuaries, researchers, consultants, data scientists, and market analysts, among others, across different industries such as the academe, government, finance, pharmaceuticals, market research, manufacturing, and business and economics.

Admission to the Program

Admission policies for the BSSTT-AS program follow that of the admission for the University as seen on the website: Frosh Application – De La Salle University.

Objectives of the Program

The BSSTT-AS program is aimed at producing well-trained graduates with a sound understanding of statistical concepts and their applications. It has a threefold objective:

  1. to prepare the student for graduate studies in either theoretical or applied statistics, or in other related fields;
  2. to prepare the student for a teaching career in statistics up to the junior undergraduate level; and
  3. to prepare the student for immediate work as professional statisticians at the supervisory/managerial level in business, industry, government, engineering and consulting firms, health care organizations, insurance companies, and research institutions.

Consistent with the University’s ELGAs, the program emphasizes critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills to prepare students to develop continuous lifelong learning skills that are essential in a rapidly changing field.

LCENWRD Encountering the Word in the World Given that the Christian life is one shaped by God’s Word, students need to learn how to engage scripture for the purpose of deepening their spirituality and appreciating and living their Christian vocation in the context of Philippine realities. Those unfamiliar with the Bible however often need “tools” for understanding its evolving perspectives on the relationship between God and humankind. The approach to the Bible taken here is to regard it as a collection of stories of the ongoing quest of God’s people for shalom in a world of exclusion and violence. It also takes into account the story of how God in his faithfulness intervened in history to teach people how to live a new solidarity rooted first in the covenant and then in the reconciling love of God in Jesus Christ, the Word-made-flesh. 3
LCFAITH A Faith Worth Living This course [(FWL), Faith Worth Living] is about making sense of the relevance of faith in today’s world. The relevance of faith is the fundamental issue this course tries to resolve. It introduces the students to different faith expressions (faith as reasonable; faith as personal experience; faith as social transformation; faith as dialogue with the religious “other”) and underlines that all of these are necessary for a holistic faith that is responsive to crucial life issues. The philosophies that shaped the development of each of these different faith expressions, as well as, relevant and related existential/social questions will be discussed. The class concludes with a celebration of this holistic faith. 3
