Online and Residential Options

SUMaC Students

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.

We receive many more qualified applicants for this small program than the space we have available. The residential program will serve 40 participants and the online program will serve 64 participants. Applicants should consider these program sizes when selecting whether they would like to be considered for the residential, online, or both SUMaC offerings.

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

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.
