¿ì²¥ÊÓÆµ\u2019s actuarial science program has achieved a major milestone with accreditation from the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA), strengthening York\u2019s academic standing and supporting student success in a high-demand field.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
This recognition places York among a select group of Canadian institutions whose actuarial programs meet CIA syllabus requirements through mandatory coursework, highlighting the University\u2019s academic strength, its ties to industry and the value York graduates bring to employers in insurance, finance and risk management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
