Requirements for Admission
to the Society of Actuaries
This overview of actuarial education is written for Fellows and other interested audiences who are not taking
exams. It is edited to be informative, not definitive. Detailed information on courses, syllabus, study materials,
fees, and examination dates, times, and locations is given in the Fall Associateship and Fellowship
Catalog and in the Spring Associateship and Fellowship Catalog, which are available from the Society
office.
1. Requirements for Admission to the Society of Actuaries as an Associate
Anyone pursuing actuarial studies may apply for admission to the Society. If the Board of Governors
approves the Application for Admission as Associate, the candidate will be enrolled as an Associate of the
Society of Actuaries (A.S.A.) after completing the Associateship education and examination requirements
prescribed by the Board of Governors, subject to any further requirements that the Board may prescribe.
A candidate must complete Courses 1-6 as well as the Associateship Professionalism Course to satisfy the
Associateship requirements.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Page 2 of 3
Credit for all courses must be obtained by examinations offered by the SOA or by an alternative method
approved by the Board of Governors. Also, in certain circumstances, course credit may be obtained by
waiver for a candidate who has examination credits in another recognized actuarial organization (see page 12
in the Spring 2000 Associateship and Fellowship Catalog).
3. Requirements for Fellowship
Candidates cannot attain Fellowship without having satisfied requirements for Associateship. Candidates
may not attend the Fellowship Admissions Course until they have completed all other Fellowship educational
requirements. The Fellowship Admissions Course is required of all candidates for Fellowship.
Candidates who desire Fellowship in the Canadian Institute of Actuaries must complete the
Society's Fellowship requirements, including completion of the Fellowship Admissions Course, and
complete any other CIA requirements. Complete details are in the CIA Yearbook.
a. FSA Course Descriptions
Course 7 Applied Actuarial Modeling
Course 8 Advanced Specialized Actuarial Practice
Candidates must choose one of the following:
Finance
Health, Group Life & Managed Care
Individual Insurance
Investments
Retirement Benefits
b. Professional Development Requirement
The PD requirement of the SOA curriculum serves to cover topics that the practitioner will need to learn
throughout his/her career, including those that are country-specific, regulatory, or otherwise transitory in
nature. Satisfying the PD requirement occurs after completing the formal course of examinations and
precedes eligibility for the FAC to attain the FSA designation.
The candidate must obtain a minimum of 50 units of eligible education within a two year period, with at least
35 units coming from the completion of suitable formal professional development programs (seminars and
symposia, meeting sessions, professional examinations, and courses), and 15 units from the completion of a
professional project and communication of the relevant aspects of the project.
c. Fellowship Admissions Course
The Fellowship Admissions Course is the final requirement for Fellowship and is required of all candidates
for Fellowship. It is offered following both the Spring and Fall examinations. Details are provided on the
SOA Web site, www.soa.org.
