The Ross Mathematics Program is a six-week residential summer program built around number theory, taught through problem sets rather than lectures. Students ages 14-18 apply with an essay, a teacher recommendation, a transcript, and solutions to challenging math problems. The program fee is $7,500 for room, board, and instruction, and need-based financial aid is available so accepted students can attend. Ross now runs at Otterbein University in Ohio and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana under one shared application.
