Summer Enhancement Program (SEP)

The Summer Enhancement Program (SEP) is a program sponsored by the Math Department and designed to assist graduate students with studying for the qualifying exams. Students must pre-register for these sessions by filling out the form at the bottom of this page. These are NOT classes that will teach you everything you need to know.

These sessions serve two purposes:

  1. Refresher for students preparing for qualifying exams.
  2. Preview of material covered in standard first year graduate courses.

The areas can vary from year to year and sufficient enrollment is required for a course to run.
