MAA's PREP Program


The Mathematical Association of America’s PRofessional Enhancement Program (PREP) provides a range of activities to support growth for mathematicians at all stages of their careers. Whether you are seeking new ideas for research and teaching, development of leadership skills or simply looking for a chance to interact with colleagues on one of the annual MAA Mathematical Study Tours, PREP has a program for you.

The PREP summer workshop series enables faculty in the mathematical sciences to respond to rapid and significant developments that impact undergraduate mathematics. PREP workshops offer extended professional development experiences with active involvement by all participants, leadership by experts, and a commitment by participants to make use of what they learn. PREP workshops serve faculty in the mathematical sciences from all types of institutions, at all stages in their careers, and enable faculty to reach beyond their own educational experiences. To achieve a sustained impact, PREP workshops extend over time with preparatory, intensive and on-going components. Follow-up components are typically held in conjunction with the Joint Mathematics Meetings each January.

Registration for the 2008 PREP Workshops is now open.

PREP is a project of the MAA with funding by the National Science Foundation grant DUE #0341481.  PREP programs are equally open to all faculty, independent of whether or not they are members of the MAA or any other professional organization. Although most of the programs in PREP are for faculty in the mathematical sciences, those from other disciplines are welcome and some programs may specifically encourage communication among mathematics faculty and those from other disciplines. 

The registration fee covers some, but not all of the costs of food and lodging during the workshop. Payment must accompany application
