Math in Moscow

Math in Moscow (MiM) is a one-semester study abroad program for North American and European undergraduates held at the Independent University of Moscow (IUM) in Moscow, Russia. The program consists mainly of math courses that are taught in English. The program was first offered in 2001, and since 2008 has been run jointly by the Independent University of Moscow, Moscow Center for Continuous Mathematical Education, and the Higher School of Economics (HSE).

The program has hosted over 200 participants, including students from Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley, Cornell, Yale, McGill, Toronto and Montreal.

The MiM semester lasts fifteen weeks with fourteen weeks of teaching and one week of exams. Math courses are lectured by professors of the Independent University of Moscow and the Math Department of National Research University Higher School of Economics. The cultural elements of the program include organized trips to Saint Petersburg and to the Golden Ring towns of Vladimir and Suzdal. Students live in the dormitory of the Higher School of Economics.

Each semester the American Mathematical Society offers up to five "Math in Moscow" scholarships provided by the National Science Foundation to US undergraduates, and the Canadian Mathematical Society offers one or two NSERC scholarships to Canadian students.

The program is often reviewed favorably by North American students and their departments.
