Actuarial Internship (Undergrad) Summer 2026

Spend your summer making an impact.

The Cigna Group's Actuarial Executive Development Program (AEDP) offers a premier 11-week internship that prepares future actuaries to become business leaders.

As an intern, you'll solve real business problems, take ownership of a business project, and gain exposure to actuarial and cross-functional teams that drive healthcare forward.

Our internship is a key pipeline into full-time roles in the AEDP - our primary pathway for developing top actuarial talent.

You'll receive support and mentorship from experienced actuaries and leaders while sharpening your technical, analytical, and strategic skills.

What You'll Do:

You'll own and present a high-impact project aligned with business needs.

Past projects have included:

- Forecasting the financial impact of market trends and cost drivers on health plan pricing
- Performing "actual-to-expected" analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of new medical policies
- Developing models to predict claim variations and improve reserve accuracy
- Designing tools to optimize pricing strategies and accelerate speed-to-market

You'll also participate in training sessions, case studies, community-building events, and intern-exclusive programming developed by our "Intern Committee"-a team of full-time AEDP associates committed to shaping an inclusive and engaging summer experience.
