+===== VEE Requirements =====
+The actuarial societies allow to have requirements to be validated by educational experience. There are three subjects in VEE requirements:
+    * Mathematical Statistics
+    * Accounting and Finance
+    * Economics
+Currently, the following series of Binghamton courses can be used to satisfy VEE requirements. The updated information can be checked at [[https://www.soa.org/education/exam-req/instructions-for-vee-directory/|VEE Directory of Approved Courses and Alternate Options]].
+==== Binghamton VEE courses ====
+    * Economics. //Both components below must be covered.//
+         - Microeconomics component: by ECON 160, 360, or 500.
+         - Macroeconomics component: by ECON 162, 362, or 501.
+    * Mathematical Statistics
+         - By MATH 448, or 502
+    * Accounting and Finance
+         - Accounting component: by ACCT 211

+If a student cannot get enough VEE credits while in college, he/she can use standardized examinations or other educational experiences to get the credits. A list of accepted approaches is on the SOA website, such as Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Exams, Global Association of Risk Professions (GARP) FRM Exam, online courses, and so on.
+Students should be reminded that the most important factor for being hired as an actuary in an entry-level position is to pass the first two actuarial exams (P/1 and FM/2). <wrap hi>Taking courses to fulfill the VEE requirements should not be placed as a first priority.</wrap>
