Minor in Marine Science

Five courses are required for a minor in marine science. The grades in each of these courses must be C or higher to receive credit toward the minor. All minor students develop their programs in consultation with a Boston University Marine Program (BUMP) faculty advisor. The five courses can be any five of the marine science major courses offered by the Departments of Biology and Earth & Environment, including those taught as part of the Marine Semester. Directed study or undergraduate research courses are not eligible.
