General ActuarialNon-Specific Actuarial Topics - Before posting a thread, please browse over our other sections to see if there is a better fit, such as Careers - Employment, Actuarial Science Universities Forum or any of our other 100+ forums.
I have moved some threads to the Actuarial Science University section, in the general discussion area. The questions were related to actuarial education, although not necessarily about university programs.
If anyone has a suggestion for a more reasonable place to put these questions about education, please comment here. Thanks.
