MINOR IN ACTUARIAL SCIENCES This interdisciplinary minor is jointly spon- sored by the College of Liberal Arts and Sci- ences and by the College of Business Administration at the University of Florida. The program is designed for students interested in quantitative techniques who wish to apply their skills in a business or government setting. Upon successful completion, students will receive a minor in Actuarial Science which will be officially noted on their transcripts. Students may complete the program while earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree or a Liberal Arts and Sci- ences degree. The requirements for the particu- lar major must be met and, in addition, a num- ber of courses must be taken in business, statistics, mathematics, and operations research. Students plan their program in such a way that some of these courses also count towards the departmental and degree requirements. Thus, mathematics or statistics students would take three or four additional courses to earn their minor while business students would take four or five additional courses. Students seeking further information about the minor should contact Dr. Bruce Edwards (Mathematics), Dr. David Nye (Finance and Insurance), Dr. John Saw (Statistics), or Dr. Ronald Akers (Sociology). VII. Management The Management curriculum is designed for those students who wish to focus on either gen- eral management or human resource manage- ment. General management focuses on those aspects of the management process that are associated with effective and responsible man- agement, such as the behavior of individuals in organizations, management philosophy, and organization design. Human resource manage- ment (HRM) focuses on the acquisition, devel- opment, conservation, and use of human resources in employment settings. HRM applies knowledge from economics, law, sociology, and psychology to the design of effective HRM poli- cies and programs. Students in the Management department take 15 to 18 hours of major field course work in addition to the business core program specified for their major. The major in Decision and Information Sci- ences (DIS) is under consideration. Until approved, it will remain a track within the Man- agement major. This track will be officially noted on the student's transcript. See Section III.
