CAS Student Central Summer Program is officially accepting applications for 2024!

This free eight-week online program, designed by practicing actuaries, will support university students’ career growth by providing technical and soft skill development, as well as mentorships and networking opportunities.

2024 Program Details

The program will run from Monday, June 10– Friday, August 2. Over the course of the eight-week program participants will:

  • Complete weekly modules that focus on a variety of property and casualty actuarial topics including pricing, reserving, and data visualization.
  • Connect and network with mentors for weekly discussions as students advance through the program.
  • Build important soft skills, such as presentation skills, resume/interview prep, professional courtesies and more!
  • Work on teams with other students on a case competition addressing a real-life actuarial problem, and present their final projects to a panel of practicing actuaries. There will be cash prizes for the winning teams.

Participants will spend approximately 10 hours a week participating in the program and are expected to attend the program in its entirety. Presentations and materials will be in English. 

For those that are looking for a flexible schedule and have limited capacity to attend live webinars and videoconferences, we will also offer the CAS Student Central Independent Summer Program, a self-paced alternative covering the same materials.

Participants who successfully complete the program will be awarded a digital badge by the CAS documenting their accomplishment. Students interested in Mentor-Led or Independent Program should submit an application form by April 10  Questions? Please email us at studentprograms@casact.org.
