You can pursue a four-year undergraduate programme at Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts through the Gilbert and Marcia Kotzen Scholars Programme.

You must demonstrate that you have undergone a college preparatory curriculum which includes an advanced level mathematics course during, or prior to your senior year of high school.
