Frequently asked questions

Beginning in Spring 2026, the curriculum is organized into three interim interdisciplinary concentrations: Advanced Electronics Manufacturing & Materials (AEMM), Energy, Infrastructure & the Environment (EIE), and AI/ML, Robotics, and Controls (AIRC). Students who enrolled before Spring 2026 may continue under the concentration requirements in place at the time they enrolled.

Graduates earn a Master of Advanced Study in Engineering from UC Berkeley College of Engineering. This is a distinct online degree and does not have an on-campus equivalent. The MAS-E is also identified as a STEM degree.

The program is designed to prepare students for senior technical and management roles across engineering fields. Depending on course selection, graduates can align the degree with paths such as electrical engineering, materials engineering, environmental engineering, advanced manufacturing, integrated circuits, AI, transportation, control systems, and robotics.

Most students complete the program in approximately 2 to 3 years, with a typical target of about 24 months. Students may study part time or full time, with advising support on term-by-term load. The graduate maximum is 20.5 units per semester, and 6 units per semester is the minimum to qualify for federal loans. To meet University of California residency requirements, students must complete at least 4 units in each of two semesters.

Yes. The MAS-E is delivered 100% online and is designed for working engineers and STEM professionals who need flexibility. Students cannot switch into an on-campus version of the program because the degree is offered only online.

Students learn from Berkeley Engineering faculty and have access to live online office hours throughout each course. Additional instructional staff support students during the program. Online students also have access to a range of university resources, including GradPro, the Graduate Writing Center, D-Lab, the Career Center, UC Berkeley Libraries, and the student well-being portal.

No. Internships are not part of the MAS-E curriculum. The program instead emphasizes industry-focused courses, hands-on projects, and career-oriented outcomes.

The current listed tuition is $42,000, based on $1,750 per unit for 24 units, plus applicable per-semester fees. Students pay on a pay-as-you-go basis according to their enrolled units each semester, and bills may be paid through monthly installments. The application fee is $135 for U.S. citizens and permanent residents and $155 for all other applicants. U.S. citizens or permanent residents who can demonstrate financial need are eligible to apply for a waiver of the application fee. See guidelines for waivers.

Berkeley Engineering is pleased to offer MAS-E scholarships to qualified candidates. Recipients are awarded partial scholarships based on criteria including academic merit; financial need; overcoming personal, academic or professional barriers; and experience with diversity. Please communicate these through your application’s responses in the:

  1. Economic Background section
  2. Personal History Statement
  3. Personal Information

No. Because the MAS-E is built around one-unit courses, credits from other institutions do not transfer into the degree.

Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related STEM field from an accredited institution. No work experience is required. Applicants from countries or regions where English is not the official language must submit official TOEFL or IELTS evidence unless they qualify for the published waiver based on prior full-time U.S. academic study with grades of B or better.
