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. 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 community, 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. June 30th - July 25th, 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. Public transportation costs and lunch will be provided. The application is now open!
