2.5 Costs and Financial Support
Current costs for the program: under “Graduate: Academic”
UC Berkeley’s Student Budget: under “Graduate Student Budget”.
This is a self-funded program and the department does not offer any financial support for 5th Years. Students are also not allowed to serve as GSIs or Readers in MechE. Students who do choose to serve as GSI/Readers for other departments and then, in turn, request additional semesters to graduate are unlikely to receive them (this has happened in the past). We encourage students to focus on their studies in this program full-time to ensure that you will graduate within normative time (two semesters).
