Boot Camp

Q: Who can be in the boot camp?
A: Any Penn State student may be in the boot camp. Q: Why should I be in the boot camp? A: The boot camp is THE pipeline to becoming one of the most sought after actuarial science candidates. You will learn about the major, the industry, and how to be a competitive applicant. Any student who wants to better themselves and further their career should participate. Q: How can I get in the boot camp? A: The application for the boot camp opens at the start of the fall semester and usually closes around the end of August. Keep an eye out in the club's emails, GroupMe, and on the website to apply. Q: What are the requirements to graduate from the boot camp? A: Boot camp requirements vary from attending the career fair to completing technical training courses. It is estimated that the boot camp will require 2-3 hours per week. Keep in mind however, that if you are already planning on spending an hour a week at club events, that this time will likely count towards boot camp requirements. This means that the additional time required for active club members is lower than for less active members. |
