Other than the ones mentioned above (Wisconsin, FSU, etc.) not to my recollection.
Here is the SOA's list of PhD programs around the world that they have approved coursework for (and therefore students there are also eligible for some SOA funded fellowhips). Some are in math or stats depts, others in B-schools, and in a few cases, it is in one but there is an affiliated PhD program in the other. These are all actuarial specific PhD programs, and there are a lot of good non-actuarial RM and insurance programs out there (Columbia Business School for example) that are not on this list.
Also, look in B-school stats departments. Some have well published actuarial faculty, and are affiliated with the various other PhD programs at the B-school, and in some cases the B-school stats department offers their own PhD (like at NYU Stern).
