UW's math facuty already offers a thriving un- dergraduate program in ac- tuarial science and a mas- ter's program in the same area is expected to begin soon. Waterloo’s established strength in this field is seen as one of the major reasons why it was selected for the risk management program. from a variety of disciplines to gain a better understand- ing of insurance, at UW.

However, Dr. Matthews reports the propo- sal has been enthusiastically supported by the various academic groups on campus that would be involved, in- cluding the department of statistics, the actuarial group within that depart- ment, and the dean of math- ematics.
