The Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) is a flexible online Berkeley Engineering master’s degree designed for working engineers and STEM professionals seeking advanced expertise in the technologies shaping the future of industry.
Built for professionals who want to grow without stepping away from their careers, MAS-E combines the rigor of a Berkeley Engineering education with the flexibility of online, self-paced learning. Students build technical depth in high-growth fields while tailoring their degree through electives that support broader engineering fluency, career mobility, and long-term professional advancement.
MAS-E courses are developed and taught by Berkeley Engineering faculty and instructors working across advanced technical fields, including AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, energy systems, infrastructure, data science, and human-centered design.
Students engage with recorded lectures, applied coursework, projects, and live online office hours designed to support flexible learning without sacrificing academic quality.
MAS-E is fully online and self-paced, giving students the flexibility to continue working while advancing their education. Students have up to four years to complete the 24-unit degree and may finish in less than two years if enrolled full time.
MAS-E offers three interdisciplinary concentrations in emerging engineering fields, supported by a broader elective curriculum that allows students to expand beyond a single technical domain.
Students can combine concentration coursework with electives in areas such as AI and machine learning, software engineering, optimization, energy systems, advanced manufacturing, resilient infrastructure, human-centered design, and engineering leadership.
This structure allows students to build both specialized expertise and cross-disciplinary technical perspective aligned with evolving career goals and industry needs.
