Center for Women in Mathematics
- Center for Women in Mathematics
The Center for Women in Mathematics, a part of the Smith College Department of Mathematics and Statistics, is an educational program found in 2007 to increase the involvement of women in mathematics. The Center aims for student to engage in coursework and research in a mathematical environment that actively supports women.
Junior Program
The Junior Program is designed for undergraduate women who wish to spend a year or a semester studying mathematics at a women's college.
Post-Baccalaureate Program
The Post-Baccalaureate Program is geared towards women with bachelor's degrees who didn't major in mathematics as undergraduates or whose major was light. The post-baccalaureate program is funded through grants from Smith College and the National Science Foundation and students receive tuition waivers and living stipends.
Students of both programs are able to take classes not only at Smith College, but also at any other of the Five Colleges - Amherst, Mt. Holyoke and Hampshire Colleges and Umass Amherst, the last of which also offers graduate-level courses.
Other Programs
The Center also runs a MAT (Master's of Art in Teaching) program which prepares students with undergraduate degrees to teach mathematics and provides the necessary accreditation to teach high school mathematics.
Each year the Center hosts the Women in Mathematics in New England (WIMIN) Conference. The conference is open to submissions from prominent women mathematicians as well as both graduate and undergraduate women students of mathematics.
