Tuition is $1,750 per unit for a total of $42,000 for 24 units. Additional per-semester campus fees are required. Campus fees are approximately $910 for the 2023-2024 Academic Year. Figures for tuition and fees represent currently approved or proposed amounts and may not be final. Actual tuition and fees are subject to change by the University of California as determined to be necessary or appropriate. Final approved tuition and fee levels may differ from the amounts presented. Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction.
At this time, students are not eligible to receive federal financial aid to finance this program.
The majority of our part-time engineering master’s degree students receive some form of employer support to help with tuition and fees. Students should be prepared to cover the majority of the cost of the program through employer support, private loans, or other personal means.
Tuition and mandatory fees are due at the beginning of each semester in which you are enrolled. Payment plans are also available.
Students may complete the program in most countries, but there are exceptions. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has established regulations that prohibit U.S. persons (including the University of California) from providing remote educational services to individuals in certain sanctioned countries. The list of OFAC sanctioned countries currently includes: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria and Ukraine (specific regions only).
Please note that these restrictions are based on your physical location, not your citizenship or nationality. For example, if you are a citizen of Sudan but you currently live in Egypt, you can still take online courses with Berkeley Engineering.
Please contact us if you think that you may be impacted by these restrictions.
Our courses, which are all developed and taught by Berkeley Engineering faculty members, are offered via the Coursera online learning system. If you’d like to get a taste of what the courses will be like, feel free to join our MAS-E Preview Course here.
