The Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) is a flexible online Berkeley Engineering master’s degree designed for working technical professionals seeking to build expertise in the technologies reshaping industry.
MAS-E concentrations are designed around emerging engineering domains shaping the future of industry — from AI and robotics to advanced manufacturing, energy systems, and resilient infrastructure.
Beyond the concentration, students personalize their degree through a broad elective curriculum that supports interdisciplinary learning across engineering, computation, systems design, optimization, and leadership.
This flexible structure allows working professionals to build both specialized expertise and broader technical fluency aligned with evolving career goals and industry demands.
From AI and robotics to semiconductors, energy systems, and resilient infrastructure, engineering is entering a period of rapid technological transformation. As industries evolve, engineers are increasingly expected to combine deep technical expertise with adaptability, systems thinking, and cross-disciplinary fluency.
MAS-E is designed for professionals preparing to grow alongside these changes — building advanced knowledge in emerging engineering fields while continuing to work and advance their careers.
Applications for Fall 2026 are now open.
Application deadline is June 7, 2026.

The free MAS-E degree preview course includes three modules of select degree course content that showcase the elite faculty and advanced instruction you’ll experience when you join the program. Available anytime, the preview course will familiarize you with the MAS-E career-accelerating concentrations and curriculum, as well as the engaging online learning experience provided by Coursera.
We’ve partnered with Coursera, an online program manager (OPM), to bring the MAS-E program to you. Coursera powers the learning platform where you’ll access your courses, provides technical support, supports marketing and outreach efforts, and offers student services and program management to help keep everything running smoothly. UC Berkeley and our faculty are responsible for the academic experience — from creating accessible course content and leading instruction to handling grading, assessments, admissions, and issuing official credentials and transcripts. We’re also committed to providing student services and ensuring accessibility accommodations are available when needed.
In short: Coursera keeps the platform humming, and Berkeley brings the world-class education.
