What is the DRP?

The Directed Reading Program is an initiative to pair undergraduate students with graduate student mentors to undertake independent study projects over the summer.  The project generally lasts a month, and consists of the pair working together to read through a book and culminating in the student giving a public math lecture at the end of the program.

Tufts DRP is one of at least 14 similar programs running at colleges and universities around the country.  The program is run by a graduate student committee with limited faculty oversight. The graduate organizers are Anca Andrei, and Samuel Gomez. 

For the in-semester DRP, applicants will be able to choose from a selection of graduate-student proposed projects, which will be posted here at the beginning of the semester.
