Cost of Attendance
Fees are assessed by UC Berkeley on a per-unit basis and derived from the approved fees from the UC Office of the President. Fees are expected to be $2,790 per unit for the 2013-2014 academic year. Costs are always subject to change and will not have official approval until May. The cost of books and course materials is included in the cost of fees.
The following budgets are for the nine-month academic year. These budgets have been determined by the university primarily for financial aid purposes. If you apply for financial aid, these official budgets will be used to determine financial aid eligibility. Please note that EWMBA fees are subject to change and you should expect them to rise each year of the MBA program. This information is current as of April 24, 2013.

Explanation of Fees
- Class Pass / Transit Fee: Included in the EWMBA Fees, UC Berkeley charges a Bus Pass / Transit Fee of $78.50 per semester, itemized on your E-Bill. All students must pay this fee, and it cannot be waived even if you later withdraw for the semester.
- This budget does not include items such as credit card debt or automobile expenses. We recommend that you reduce these obligations before you enter school, as they cannot be considered in your financial aid budget under federal regulations.
