The University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) is an alternative secondary mathematics education program operated by the University of Minnesota's School of Mathematics Center for Educational Programs (MathCEP). Classes are offered in St. Cloud, Rochester, Duluth, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] The Program is supported by the Minnesota state legislature.[2] The course structure, intensity, and workload are comparable to college-level classes in rigor.
UMTYMP offers a total of five years of math coursework. The program is divided into a high school component and a calculus component.
High school componentedit
The UMTYMP high school component lasts two years and covers standard high school mathematics. The classes are taught by local secondary school teachers.
Students receive high school credit for these courses. To pass each semester, a grade of at least 70% in the class must be achieved, and a grade of 70%-75% results in probation and potential ejection from the course.
Calculus componentedit
The UMTYMP calculus component lasts three years and covers honors-level college calculus. The classes are taught by university faculty members.
Students receive both high school and University of Minnesota credit (4 credits per year) for these courses.
Post-UMTYMPedit
UMTYMP graduates can take 4000- or 5000-level math classes at the University of Minnesota either as a undergraduates (if enrolled there for college) or as PSEO students (if still in high school). UMTYMP also offers an optional semester-long course known as Advanced Topics.
Enrollmentedit
Interested students in 5th to 7th grade are eligible to take a qualifying exam in April. Students who pass the qualifying exam are invited to enroll in UMTYMP's Algebra I/II class in the fall or may defer their enrollment for a year.
Non-UMTYMP students in 7th to 10th grade may take an entrance exam to begin the calculus component.
The enrollment fee for the 2006 - 2007 school year was around $700 – $800.
On September 17, 2012, the UMTYMP subreddit (reddit.com/r/UMTYMP) was created.[3] UMTYMP participants were slow to adopt the forum as a means of communication, favoring Moodle as the official forum. Occasional posts were made in 2017 and 2018, but the subreddit never took off and was closed to the public.
