The University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP) is an alternative secondary mathematics education program in Minnesota, operated by the University of Minnesota's School of Mathematics Center for Educational Programs (MathCEP). Classes are offered in St. Cloud, Rochester, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Program is supported by the Minnesota state legislature.
UMTYMP students represent some of Minnesota's finest, most promising math students. The course structure, intensity, and workload are unlike anything most students have seen before, and most students do not see courses of this rigor until college. UMTYMP alumni attend a laundry list of the nation's most competitive colleges and universities, with a large number of students attending Ivy League institutions, and many pursuing graduate degrees.

And ... don’t make decisions with the interest of youth alone before you. Make your decisions because they are good for the nation as a whole.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
