Program Costs
Each year Berkeley's Financial Aid Office estimates the average cost for a graduate student during the academic year. This budget is the basis for determining financial aid eligibility. You may use the chart below (adjusted for a 12-month program) to estimate the cost of attending the MFE Program. As these official figures are averaged for all UC Berkeley students, actual costs, especially housing costs, may be higher. These figures are current as of February 7, 2013. All fees are subject to change.
