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. Hosted in Boston University’s state-of-the-art Center for Computing and Data Sciences — also known as the "Jenga" Building — the program provides students with a college educational experience as they engage in advanced mathematics on a university campus, with a particular focus on supporting those who have had limited opportunities for extracurricular math enrichment.
