FAQs

• Do you accept transfer credits or grant course waivers?

  

  We do not accept transfer credits from other universities into the MBA program. You may waive out of core courses at the discretion of the faculty, but you must replace the waived course with another class.

• I have multiple bachelor's or master's degrees. Which GPA is considered?

  

  The admission committee reviews your entire academic record; however, the committee focuses more heavily on your first bachelor's degree.

• What if I come from a non-traditional business background?

  

  We admit candidates with solid professional experience who come from a wide variety of industries and backgrounds. Our class profile provides a list of previous industries prior to beginning the Berkeley MBA program. Preference is not given to a particular field or fields.

• I already have an MBA. Am I still eligible to apply?

  

  University policy prohibits awarding of duplicate degrees. If you have an MBA or comparable degree from an institute of higher education, your application will be ineligible for consideration.

• Are there opportunities to work off-campus to finance my MBA?

  

  Due to the rigorous nature of the MBA curriculum, students in the Full-time MBA program are not able to work off-campus during their first year. In some cases, second-year students have worked up to 10 hours per week, usually by continuing to work for the company where they held their summer internship. More common is the opportunity for second-year students to serve as graduate student instructors (GSIs). Nearly 30% of our Full-Time MBA students serve in this role, which partially reduces their rate of tuition and also provides them with a small monthly stipend.

• What types of scholarships and financial aid are available?

  

  Approximately 70% of Haas students receive some form of financial assistance, including scholarships, loans, and/or assistantships.Over $13 million in scholarship funding is awarded each year, providing gift aid to over 50% of full-time MBA students. All applicants will be considered for merit-based awards and do not require any action. Merit-based awards will be determined based on the overall strength of the admissions application, professional goals, educational achievement, intended concentration, leadership skills, and embodiment of the Haas Defining Leadership Principles. Please note that meeting the stated criteria does not mean you’re guaranteed funds; rather, it means you are eligible for consideration.

• What is the difference among the Full-time, Evening & Weekend, and Executive Berkeley MBA programs?

  

  The main difference between the programs is the profile of the students. The full-time students generally have about 5 years of work experience, Evening & Weekend students generally have about 7 years of work experience, and Berkeley Executive MBA students generally have about 12 years of work experience.
