Mathematics Academy
About the Math Academy
Math Academy is an intensive, four-week residential session held on the Seattle UW Campus in summer. Students engage in coursework created by UW math faculty and designed to develop the skills necessary to meet the high standards of college-level math and engineering. Students also have enrichment opportunities to explore the range of career opportunities available to engineers through lab tours, research projects, site visits and networking events.
"UW Math Academy out to broaden engineering's appeal"
The Seattle Times columnist Jerry Large writes about Math Academy students and advisers and efforts to close the gap between high school and college math.

As you can see from the sample schedule, each week is packed with learning, activities, meals and also some down-time in the dorm.

Who Can Attend Math Academy?
The Mathematics Academy accepts current juniors with a minimum 3.0 GPA who will complete pre-calculus by the end of their junior year. We plan to fill the cohort with current juniors; however, if we do not fill the class with juniors we will consider applications from students who are currently finishing their sophomore year. Sophomores should still submit their materials by the application deadline.
While the program is open to all students, we do target underrepresented minority students and women for program participation.
What Are the Costs for the Math Academy?
The Math Academy program is free for student participants. This opportunity is made possible thanks to the University of Washington College of Engineering, and the generous contributions of our corporate and individual donors.
Applying to Math Academy
