Honors Courses in Mathematics

Honors Courses in Mathematics consist of a set of undergraduate courses  designed to provide students with the opportunity to take advanced courses in Mathematics.

The project, funded the Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR)/the Armenian National Science and Education Fund (ANSEF), is in its second year.

Sponsored by

The Armenian National
Science & Education Fund (ANSEF)

Who can attend

The program is intended for students who are enrolled at a university in Armenia. It is expected that a typical freshman will have just finished high school, although older or younger students can also be accepted. The programme does not provide any official degree, so that students are expected to enrol at a state-accredited university to get a Bachelor degree at the end of their four year studies.

How it works

Lectures are mostly presented remotely in a classroom setting, with a teaching assistant (TA) present in person. The TA also helps students with their homework assignments.

Students must do a substantial amount of homework and pass a number of exams throughout the semester. At the end of each course, a written exam is given as a final evaluation.

The courses are free to attend. Select students are provided a scholarship based on their academic performance in the classes.
