• Resumen

  • In this introduction to the special issue devoted to actuarial education, we provide an overview of the actuarial profession and what is involved in developing a program to train future actuaries. In addition we point to articles in this issue that include information on the two major actuarial organizations, along with detailed examples of various types of actuarial programs at many levels from very small introductory programs to advanced programs. There are articles on how to start up and run a program, how to handle advising and recruiting problems, and recommendations about courses to prepare students for the actuarial examinations.
