What difference will you make?

The Actuarial Executive Development Program (AEDP) develops the next generation of actuaries who don't just model risk but shape decisions, challenge the status quo, and help deliver better health outcomes. Through rotational experiences, meaningful work, AI-enabled tools and analytics, and dedicated exam and mentorship support, you'll grow from a young professional to future business leader faster than you thought possible.

Whether you're exploring an internship or ready to launch your full-time career, the AEDP is your launchpad to leadership and your FSA.

The AEDP looks for candidates who are:
  • Committed to completing SOA actuarial credentials
  • Eager to take on challenging, impactful work
  • Excited to grow into future leadership roles
  • Passionate about making a difference in healthcare
  • Energized by continuous learning and pushing yourself to grow

You can learn more through programs like insight days, workshops, mentoring, and targeted experiences for first- and second-year students. These activities are designed to introduce you to the actuarial profession and prepare you for future internships or full-time opportunities. Many of these offerings are held in the January-May timeframe.

Intern candidates are not required to have passed an actuarial exam to apply. However, we strongly encourage students to explore the actuarial exam process and consider taking an exam. For full‑time opportunities, candidates are expected to have passed at least one actuarial exam prior to applying.
