To apply for the MBA/MCS concurrent degree program, you only need to submit a single application through the Haas MBA application portal. Interested applicants should select the MBA/MCS option when completing their Haas MBA application. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at climatesolutions@berkeley.edu.

If you want to apply for the MCS degree program only, you need to submit your application here.

Deadlines will follow the Haas Full Time MBA application deadlines:

• Round 1: September 12, 2024
• Round 2: January 9, 2025
• Round 3: April 3, 2025

An undergraduate degree (bachelor’s or equivalent) at an accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale is required.

The GMAT or GRE is required. The GMAT or GRE must be taken on or before the designated application deadline.

TOEFL/IELTS score is required for:

• Individuals who received college degrees from a country in which the official language is not English, regardless of the language of instruction; and
• U.S. citizens and permanent residents who received their undergraduate degrees from a country in which the official language is not English.

The TOEFL must be taken on or before the designated application deadline.

When you enroll in the MBA/MCS concurrent degree program, the total estimated cost will be:

• $199,082.19 (California resident) and
• $218,289.70 (non-resident)*

You can compare this to the cost of attending both programs (MBA and MCS) separately. Using the tuition and fees rate from 2023-2024, if the two degrees were obtained sequentially, the total cost would be between $221,683.50 and $246,173.50:

• MBA – $164,291 (average of CA resident and non-resident fees)
• MCS – $69,489

*fee rates for 2025-2026 may change

Some or all instruction for all or part of the Academic Year may be delivered remotely. Tuition and fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded in the event instruction occurs remotely for any part of the Academic Year. Figures for tuition and fees represent currently approved or proposed amounts and may not be final. Actual tuition and fees are subject to change by the University of California as determined to be necessary or appropriate. Final approved tuition and fee levels may differ from the amounts presented.

We require two letters of recommendation and prefer that both letters come from current or former employers, recognizing that some applicants may not have the ability to fulfill this requirement. Please select individuals with whom you’ve had substantial professional interaction, such as a major client or your supervisor. The formal title or position of these individuals is not crucial. What matters most is how closely they have worked with you and their ability to attest to your contributions as an employee, your professional accomplishments, and your personal qualities and interpersonal skills within an organizational setting.

Applicants to the MBA/MCS will be considered for admission to both MBA and MBA/MCS programs. Those who want to be considered for MCS only option needs to submit their application to MCS through the UC Berkeley Graduate Division Application Website.
