Berekely, UCLA, Stanford, etc. are all great colleges in U.S. I'm not sure if any of them have a degree in Act. Sci. but you don't need a degree in Act. Sci. to be an actuary!

Then how is the way to be an actuary? Get degree in Accounting or Mathematics?

In the US you can get a degree in underwater basket weaving, it doesn't matter. Of course a relevant degree will help! The actuarial career here is somewhat unique in that you don't need a degree in the subject matter to be successful. Essentially you need a strong aptitude for math, the ability to apply math appropriately in business situations, and strong communication skills. And of course, you must be able to pass the exams the actuarial societies here require. Have you read www.beanactuary.com? If not try that.
