一般中国家长习惯按各类排名选择学校。但是至今为止，我没有能力找到精算专业的学校排名。关于学校选择，每种选择都有他的理由。选择自己喜欢的，又适合自己的，综合各种因素择校即可。

　　我个人主张(不一定正确，本来就没有绝对的正确性可谈):首选能提供此专业的综合大学。主要是考虑综合大学能提供更广泛的课程，课外活动也更丰富，对提高综合素质和能力有很大帮助，从而在精算师的职业生涯中，有更大的发展潜力。其次，选择学校所在地对应的这个专业的就业机会相对多的学校。学校地点对就业问题不是绝对的，但也是非常重要的，至少对毕业后就业是有益的。根据我的孩子毕业找工作的经验，对此，有深刻体会，而且，某种意义上讲，专业与就业地点的关系比学校综合排名更重要(仅指在美国找工作的情况)。特别是在经济形势恶劣情况下，一般保险公司为节约经费，喜欢雇用本地(local)人。

　　通常，在美国大学，精算学科设在数学系，统计系，或商学院。有的设为major, 有的设为program, 有的设为concentration 。有的大学只提供对应精算考试1,2级的初级本科课程，有的提供3,4级考试的高级本科课程，还有的大学提供对应更高级考试的研究生课程。所以，选校时要注意这点。
