The Canadian Institute of Actuaries administers the University Accreditation Program (UAP) for actuarial education. Through the UAP, students who complete an accredited degree program can accelerate their journey to professional qualification as an Associate of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (ACIA), needing to pass only the ACIA Capstone exam and some ACIA modules after graduation. Alternate professional qualification pathways through the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society are also available.
