Spend the Summer with Peers Who Share a Passion for Mathematics
SUMaC leads participants on a journey in advanced mathematics through lectures, guided research, and group problem solving. In an environment centered on mathematics, participants explore current lines of mathematical research, the historical development of important areas of mathematics, and applications across scientific disciplines.
Advanced Mathematics
Explore mathematics beyond the scope of what is typically taught in the classroom. SUMaC is for students who have an exceptional interest in mathematics, and who are prepared for study of abstract algebra and number theory, or algebraic topology.
Academic Enrichment
The SUMaC courses are not for credit or grade—they are designed for pure mathematical enrichment.
Intensive Exploration
SUMaC focuses on mathematics that is motivated independently of ties to other sciences; nonetheless, important applications are introduced and pursued along the way.
College-Level Workload
Similar to what they would experience in a college course, participants can expect a heavy and engaging workload of assignments to work on outside of the live class meeting times.
Online and Residential Options
The joy of mathematics is brought into every aspect of the SUMaC program. The online experience and residential programs have equal levels of academic rigor and content. The residential SUMaC experience provides in-person social opportunities and field trips with peers, while online SUMaC provides virtual social opportunities with peers, guest speakers, and teaching assistants.
Online and residential options will be available for Summer 2023.
Online Academic Enrichment
Faster-paced three-week curriculum
Daily TA and peer problem solving sessions and online guest lectures
Final research projects are presented during one day
64 participants
Real-Time Online Instruction
Courses meet for live, online classroom discussion with their instructor and peers. Participants engage in daily problem sets, work with Stanford students who serve as teaching assistants, and attend virtual guest lectures from mathematicians and others who use mathematics in their respective fields.
Student Engagement
Active participation is key to creating an online community of engaged learners, and participants are expected to participate in class and to collaborate with their peers, instructors, and teaching assistants.
Residential Stanford Experience
Four weeks of curriculum
Daily TA sessions and structured evening and weekend social activities
Final research projects are presented at the end of the program
40 participants
An Interactive Experience
When you come to SUMaC, you will learn and develop as a student, make new friends, and be challenged intellectually.
Explore Stanford's Campus
Live and learn on the beautiful Stanford campus and get a taste of what it is like to be an undergraduate.
The program offered a rigorous curriculum that focused on advanced topics in mathematics, such as algebraic geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. The courses were taught by experienced professors and experts in their field, who were engaging, supportive, and available to answer our questions and provide feedback on our work. The material was challenging, but it allowed us to explore and apply mathematical concepts in a practical and hands-on manner.
Apart from the academic aspect, the program also provided a fun and engaging social experience. We had the opportunity to meet and connect with other students from around the world who shared our interests in mathematics. We participated in various extracurricular activities, such as math puzzles and games, movie nights, and field trips to mathematical research labs. These activities were not only enjoyable but also provided a deeper understanding of the mathematical world and its applications in real-world situations.
The program offers workshops and seminars on college admissions, career planning, and leadership skills. These sessions were very helpful and provided me with valuable insights and advice that will be useful in the future. The facilities and resources provided by the program were exceptional. The housing was comfortable and well-maintained, and the dining hall provided delicious and nutritious meals. The campus resources, such as libraries and computer labs, were also available for our use.
It was an exceptional experience that allowed me to gain valuable skills and knowledge in mathematics and connect with like-minded individuals from around the world. I would highly recommend this program to any high school student who is interested in mathematics and is looking for a comprehensive and hands-on introduction to advanced topics in the field. It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever.
Students in grades 10 and 11 at the time of application submission are eligible to apply.

In addition to the online application form, a complete application includes:
Academic Records
We require unofficial transcripts for each school or academic program from which you earned grades (such as letter or numerical grades) from Fall 2020 through Fall 2022. If you have multiple grade reports from one school, rather than one transcript from that school, please combine that into a single file for upload. Homeschooled applicants should submit a document similar to a transcript with their coursework from the years listed above. Homeschooled students should also submit transcripts from any graded courses they took with a school or program during this period.
Teacher Recommendation
We require one online recommendation form from a math teacher.
Optional Video Essay
This video essay is an opportunity to share more about your interest in our program. You can consider it a conversation between you and our Admissions Committee. If you attend a school in which the primary language of instruction is a language other than English, we strongly encourage you to complete the video essay.
$65 Application Fee
You may submit the $65 application fee online using a credit card. Please see instructions for payment at the end of the Online Application. Fee waivers can be provided if qualifications are met.
