TexPREP
TexPREP is a mathematics-based, academic enrichment program open to middle and high school students. It emphasizes the development of abstract reasoning and problem solving skills, and helps students prepare for careers in the fields of mathematics, science, technology and engineering.
The program includes coursework, team projects, class presentations, examinations, career awareness speakers, field trips, and special events. TexPREP is presented over the summer. Students can reapply each year. High school elective credit is awarded by school districts for the successful completion of TexPREP. The next TexPREP is scheduled for Summer 2018. Since space is limited, you are encouraged to register as early as possible.
