IUPP: Curriculum

During the summer, IUPP in collaboration with PIMS, offers the SFU Math Immersion Program for Indigenous Students (MIPIS), which prepares incoming IUPP students for university-level Math courses. MIPIS is a 4-week, 3-hour a day summer enrichment program designed to help Indigenous students improve their mathematics skills. The final goal of this camp is to encourage students to pursue more advanced courses in mathematics, and to help them gain more confidence in their ability to succeed in any field from Arts to STEM.

• Minimum SFU CGPA of 2.00 (attained by successfully completing IUPP)
• Minimum 12 units completed at SFU (attained by successfully completing IUPP)
• Minimum of 3 Faculty of Science courses taken at SFU, with a minimum C+ in each of the three courses (one must be Math 150, 151, or 154).
