Who We Are

Bruin Actuarial Society serves as the undergraduate student organization associated with the Actuarial Program at UCLA. Led by our board of officers, comprised of undergraduate students, we host events throughout the school year to develop our members academically, socially and professionally. We also maintain the Actuarial Program's connections with insurance and actuarial consulting firms and keep our members updated on internship and career opportunities.

BAS hosts the Actuarial Program's largest events of each year, including our Annual Career Fair in the fall, Actuarial Case Competition in the winter, and Spring Banquet. Our Career Fair is one of the largest in the nation, with over twenty firms attending annually. In addition, we host firm representatives for information sessions, resume workshops and mock interviews, professionalism workshops, and technical workshops to teach programming skills.

Prospective students and firms interested in building connections with UCLA actuaries, always feel free to contact us at bruinactuaries@gmail.com.

Upcoming Events

a meeting
Here is a comprehensive overview to this program:
What is it? The BAS Spring Recruitment Bootcamp 2025 is a selective, application-based workshop series that is aimed at providing focused-support for our members in their professional development.
Why this program? This program is designed to prepare Sophomores and Juniors for the Fall 2025 Actuarial Recruitment Season. However, everyone is allowed and encouraged to apply.
How is it structured? This pilot program is limited to a small cohort of 10–15 students so that we can provide individualized support, actionable feedback, and a high-touch learning environment.
What are the workshops? The workshop aims to focus on technical skills (Excel, SQL, Casing) as well as soft skills (Interviewing, Resume, Pathways). The tentative workshops are scheduled as follows:
  1. April 17: Resume & Interview Workshop
  2. April 22: Excel Workshop (with R/SQL preview)
  3. April 24: SQL Hands-On Workshop
  4. April 29: Pacific Life Case Competition Walkthrough
  5. May 1: Actuarial Exams & Career Pathways
When is it held? Tentatively 5 workshops spread across April 17 to May 1. Workshops will be held from 6PM-7:30PM. All sessions are only held in-person. No sessions will be held virtually or recorded since we structure this program prioritizing interactions between members and Officers.
