Exams, Internships, & Planning
Students usually need to have completed two exams and an internship to land a job after graduation; completion of one exam is usually necessary to land the internship. Be sure to let your advisor know you are interested in this career path whenever you plan courses together.
The first two exams are P (Probability) and FM (Financial Math); it is usually easier for our students to take course work in preparation for the FM exam first:
