Preparing for Graduate School

 If you are considering graduate school, it is a good idea to take both semesters of both Real Analysis and Modern Algebra.  It is also helpful to have experience in research or other summer math program before applying to graduate school and there are even "bridge" programs that you can do between your senior year and first year of graduate school.

Summer Research Opportunities

  • The National Science Foundation funds Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU).  A list of programs can be found by clicking .  These are typically 6–8-week programs where a student is inserted into a research problem.  Often times students are able to present their work at the national joint meeting of the and held every January.
  • The , Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Undergraduate Program, is funded by the NSA and the NSF REU program. MSRI-UP is a comprehensive program for undergraduates whose primary aim is to increase the number of students from underrepresented groups in mathematics graduate programs. MSRI-UP includes summer research opportunities through a six-week summer program at MSRI in Berkeley, CA and provides students with a mentor network and workshops on the graduate school application process.

Other Summer Opportunities

  • Carleton College Summer Math Program for Women Undergraduates

    Information can be found at

    This is a four week intensive program at Carleton College in Minnesota which includes classes and colloquiums.  This program is for women who have completed their first or second year of college who have had the Calculus sequence and Linear Algebra.

  • SPWM, Summer Program for Women in Mathematics
    Information can be found at
    This is a five-week intensive program at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., which includes several classes, guest speakers, panel discussions, field trips, and a lot of food!  Typically, candidates are between their Junior and Senior year and have had both Real Analysis and Modern Algebra.  I am a former SPWM participant and could give more information as needed.
