What Is University of Minnesota Talented Youth?
UMTYMP is University of Minnesota MathCEP's accelerated mathematics pathway for students in grades 6-12. The full sequence can span five years, beginning with an accelerated high-school component and continuing into University of Minnesota calculus courses. Calculus work appears on a University transcript, although each receiving institution decides whether to accept transfer credit.
Typical entry is through an Algebra Qualifying Exam taken in grades 5-7; students must have either a recent math achievement score at or above the 95th percentile or a teacher/counselor recommendation. Grade-5 students may test but cannot begin until grade 6. Admission considers the exam and application essays holistically rather than using one published passing score. Direct calculus entry has separate preparation and testing rules. Locations, testing dates, registration links, and delivery mode vary. For 2026-27, textbook-inclusive tuition ranges from $1,835 for Algebra to $2,055 for a calculus level, with limited need-based aid.
