The first goal of the PUMP Program is to identify mathematical
talent among minority students, women, and first-generation college
students in the California State Universities located in Southern
California. Students
in these underrepresented groups abound in this predominantly
Hispanic/Latino region. The second is to strengthen the preparation of
participating undergraduates to successfully pursue doctoral studies in a
research institution. The third is to create a network
of faculty mentors and the building of a supportive community.
PUMP students go through a residential and intensive summer program in their transition from lower to upper division courses and undertake research projects in their junior or senior year. PUMP students will acquire the appropriate mathematics background and skills to achieve a smooth transition into a college degree in Mathematical Sciences and later into a well-respected PhD program. | News  PUMP receives AMS Exemplary Program Award.
