Join us on January 11th and learn the best practices for writing your two short essays; the personal statement and statement of purpose for the Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) application. You'll also hear about the program, directly from the UC Berkeley College of Engineering team and have the ability to ask questions during this live information session.
Frequently asked questions
The Master of Advanced Study in Engineering (MAS-E) is a unique online degree. It does not exist as an on-campus program. Upon completion of program requirements, students receive a Master of Advanced Study in Engineering degree. You can also display your chosen theme area on your resume to demonstrate your specialized skills. The MAS-E degree is a STEM degree.
With this flexible degree, you can choose your courses to prepare for senior technical and management roles in a range of fields, such as electrical engineer, materials engineer, environmental engineer, and more. You can tailor your degree to prepare you for the career you're most interested in, from advanced manufacturing to integrated circuits, environmental engineering, AI and transportation, agriculture, control systems, to robotics. The curriculum covers a broad array of interdisciplinary engineering domains, and is designed for personalization to meet your career goals.
The MAS-E program can be taken part-time or full-time, depending on your needs. Program staff can help advise on a per-term course load based on your interests and career goals. Please note: the Graduate Maximum Unit Limit is 20.5 units per semester. Six units minimum per semester is required to qualify for federal loans.
Students may complete the program in a minimum of two semesters (full-time) and a maximum of four years (part-time). We anticipate that most students will be on a two- to three-year length program plan. MAS-E classes are offered in fall, spring and summer sessions. Students may choose to skip only the summer session(s) without withdrawing from the program. Note that master’s degree students must be enrolled in a minimum of four units per semester for at least two semesters to meet University of California academic residency requirements. The four-unit semesters do not need to be consecutive. Otherwise, fall and spring sessions have a minimum enrollment of one unit to maintain student status.
The MAS-E degree is only available online. This is by design as the innovative and dynamic curriculum of fully online courses helps you fit your studies into your schedule with your personal and professional life.

Yes. Your CalNet ID and password is sufficient for all Web access needs, but online students may also get a physical Cal 1 ID card, which would need to be picked up in person on campus.
Internships are not part of the MAS-E curriculum, but these industry-focused courses will help prepare you with hands-on projects and career-oriented outcomes.
Yes, you must submit an application fee when you apply. The application fee is not refundable. If you are a U.S. citizen or current permanent resident, the application fee is $135; for all others, the fee is $155.
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. Read more about application fees at https://grad.berkeley.edu/admissions/steps-to-apply/requirements/
No, due to the unique MAS-E one-unit courses, credits earned from classes taken at other institutions are not transferable to the MAS-E degree program.
You will pay tuition and fees each semester according to how many courses you enroll in. The tuition cost per course unit is $1,750. Bills are issued each semester and can also be paid through monthly installments.
Additional per-semester campus fees are required. Campus fees total approximately $908 for the fall 2023 semester. First semester students also pay a one-time document management fee of $107. Tuition and fees are pending approval and subject to change.
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:

To apply to the MAS-E program, a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related STEM field is required. Your bachelor’s degree (or recognized equivalent) must be from an accredited institution.
If you have completed a degree in a country/region in which the official language is not English, you are required to submit official evidence of English language proficiency via the TOEFL or IELTS exam. If you have completed at least one year of full-time academic coursework (with grades of B or better) in residence at a recognized U.S. institution, you do not need to take a standardized test. Instead, you must upload an unofficial transcript from the recognized U.S. institution.
