Evening & Weekend MBA Program

Schedule Options

Partners in your success

The Evening & Weekend MBA Program makes the academic experience convenient and accessible for busy professionals. The three-year, part-time schedule makes it possible to work while pursuing your education and expanding your network. You study on the UC Berkeley campus and, if you are a weekend student, also at a location in nearby Silicon Valley.

Select and evening or weekend class schedule

Each fall, the Evening & Weekend MBA Program admits four cohorts of approximately 60 students each: two cohorts of evening students and two cohorts of weekend students.

When you apply, select your preference for evening or weekend classes, which the school is generally able to accommodate. Both schedule options include all required core courses and a selection of pertinent and popular electives. You can also enroll in electives in the other schedule option. Classes are held in the fall and spring semesters (1-2 courses are also available each summer), with other activities year round.

Evening Schedule Option

Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with a 45-minute break. First-year students attend classes two nights each week, either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Evening courses are held at the Haas School in Berkeley.

Weekend Schedule Option

Classes are held Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with two 15-minute class breaks and one 60-minute lunch break with a catered lunch. Weekend classes alternate between Berkeley and a Silicon Valley location. Easy access from freeways and airports makes the weekend option viable for students who live outside the San Francisco Bay Area.
