TU 介绍
美国陶森大学(Towson University,简称 TU)建于 1866 年,是美国最好的区域性公立大学之一。作为排名全美第 12 位的公立教育系统-马里兰大学教育系统的成员之一,如今该
校已发展成为马里兰州第二大公立综合性大学。TU 设置 61 个本科专业和 64 个研究生专业,
在校学生大约 19,000 人,优势学科包括金融、精算和风险管理、工商管理、计算机与信息科
技、教育、艺术、心理学、视听学以及大众传媒。TU 在 2013 年成为北美 15 所精算卓越中心(Center of Actuarial Excellence, 简称 CAE)的一员,这项荣誉是对其精算项目的最高认可。TU 地理位置优越,毗邻华盛顿、纽约、费城等大都会,这些全美政治、经济、文化中心不仅给 TU 的在校生提供了丰富的参观实习机会,更为该校毕业的专业人才提供了广阔的就业空间。
美国最新的职业调查显示,精算师行业在收入、就业机会以及工作满意度等最重要的项目评比中都跻身前十位。银行、保险公司、政府部门和其他许多有金融风险的机构都需要雇佣精算师。精算师运用数学方法来判断、分析商务中的难题,并评估未来可能发生事件的财务成 本。成功的风险管理可以有效地降低一个机构的机构风险。精算师和风险管理的业务范围包 括:评估新法规对保险费的影响,估算在新合同中参保方的受益与费用,分析金融投资风险, 并针对货币价值、商品价格以及利率的波动制定对策。
由于工作责任重大,从业者需要通过严格考试才能取得精算师资格。TU 的精算和风险管理专业历史悠久,教师教学经验丰富、在校期间受到的严格而有效的训练,使许多陶森毕业生已经成为美国精算和风险管理行业的精英。TU 的精算和风险管理专业的课程是根据北美精算师协会(the Society of Actuaries) 和 非寿险协会(the Casualty Actuarial Society) (www.soa.org/ccm/content/exams-education-jobs/academic-relations/actuarial-college
listing/undergraduate/advanced/)的要求设置的,可为学生参加专业资格考试提供有力的支 持。这里毕业的本科生将有能力参加北美精算师初级考试,硕士毕业生应有足够的专业知识考取北美精算师资质证书。数学基础扎实并对商务感兴趣的学生可以考取北美精算师资质证书。数学基础扎实并对商务感兴趣的学生可以考虑选择这个专业,其核心课程包括:
· Theory of Interest利息理论
· Actuarial Models精算模型
· Mathematical Finance金融数学
· Risk Management and Financial Engineering风险管理和金融工程
· Applied Regression and Time Series Analysis 应用回归和时间序列分析
· Computational Probability Models计算概率模型
陶森大学与我校(原上海金融学院)合作的精算与风险管理项目起始于2005年,已累计合作培养了80多名毕业生并取得可喜的成绩。随着形势的发展,原来的“1+2+1”项目形式已不适应当前的签证制度。此外,近几年来参与项目的学生反馈,希望将这个项目变更 为“2+2”,以便于他们在美国读研究生或就业。
经过两校之间的多次联络、互访,陶森大学与上海立信会计金融学院于2018年6月共同签署“2+2” 精算与风险管理项目合作协议。参加该项目的学生大学一、二年级在SLUAF就读,接下来两年在TU学习。完成规定课程并通过考试后,参加项目的学生同时获得两校的 学士学位。
1. 生源:项目面向上海立信会计金融学院bat365中文官方网站在读的大二学生。
2. 学习成绩:申请人平均绩点≥3.0,其中数学课单科成绩须达到良好或以上。
3. 英语水平:
TOEFL 成绩笔考(paper-based)须达到 500 分以上(含 500 分),机考 (computer-
based)须达到173 分以上(含 173 分),网考(internet-based)须达到 61 分以上(含 61 分);
或者 IELTS 成绩达到 5.5 分(含 5.5 分)。
1. 在 SLUAF 前两个学年完成的下表所列的 76 学分,可以兑换成 TU 对应的 76 学分。
2. 在 TU 的后两年还需完成培养要求的相关课程,共计 68(或 69)学分。
3. 修读必修课程数学 498 高级讨论班前须通过精算师协会(SOA)组织的至少一门考试。
4. 毕业前,须通过的两门 SOA 考试。
