Welcome to BUMP!

The Boston University Marine Program (BUMP) features an interdisciplinary, hands on, research-oriented curriculum in Marine Science with courses and faculty from Biology, Earth Sciences, and Geography & Environment. In addition to offering rigorous and stimulating marine courses here on-campus, we also offer field experiences and coursework in Belize (Central America), in Woods Hole and the Caribbean with the Sea Education Association, at the New England Aquarium and at the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.

BUMP expansion and relocation[07.01.2007]

Since its inception in 1969, the Boston University Marine Program has been located at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and had largely focused on the field of marine biology. Starting in 2007, BUMP is transitioning into an interdisciplinary program that emphasizes the relationships between marine biology, biogeochemistry, physical oceanography, and marine geology in coastal and nearshore environments.

As part of the transition, the program's academic headquarters are now located on BU's main campus along the Charles River in Boston. Our office is now located at:

675 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 141A
Boston, MA 02215
