PROMYS Pathways Summer Program
The PROMYS Pathways Summer Program is free and offers a rigorous four-week journey into deep mathematical exploration, designed to ignite curiosity and foster critical thinking. We specifically aim to support students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in STEM and those who have limited access to extracurricular mathematics. By cultivating a welcoming and inclusive environment, PROMYS Pathways empowers every student to thrive, deepen their understanding of mathematics, and build a strong foundation for future success.
This free program runs for four weeks every July, Monday through Friday, 10:00 am – 3:30 pm. Class on July 4 is optional. Students must be able to commute to Boston University’s campus. Lunch and public transportation costs will be provided. The application will open in early 2025 and admissions decisions will be made on a rolling basis through May 1 or until all spots are filled.
