With some limitations, you may take courses from other UC Berkeley departments and schools and apply up to 5 credits to your MBA graduation requirement.
Courses taken outside of the Haas MBA Programs must be relevant to your MBA degree or career goals.
-
- You may take up to 2 graduate courses (numbered 200 or higher) in other UC Berkeley departments to count toward the 42 units needed to graduate from the MBA program.
- Must be taken for a letter grade or on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis.
- No more than 5 non-Haas units can be applied toward your MBA degree.
The Evening & Weekend MBA Program has partnership agreements with other graduate schools at UC Berkeley. Through these partnerships, we offer a select number of seats in specified courses offered by those graduate schools. These designated partnership courses appear on our elective schedule and do not count toward your non-Haas unit limit.
Please contact your Academic Advisor before registering for Non-Haas courses.
Registration for non-Haas courses is done through the campus CalCentral system.
Students can view the schedule of classes offered each semester online. To complete the registration process, make note of the following for each class:
- Day
- Time
- Course number
- Section number, and
- Course Control Number (CCN)
The CCN is a five-digit number unique to each course.
Students taking non-Haas courses are responsible for all textbooks, course materials/readers and parking; these will not be provided through the EW Program Office nor reimbursed. Students will be assessed fees based on the number of units enrolled.
In addition please note the following for courses at the law school:
- Law courses begin one week earlier than the rest of campus. Please double check their schedules to confirm start dates.
- For a list of all of their courses click here.
- You cannot take Law core courses.
- Complete the form to obtain initial approval.
- The form requires three signatures: the instructor, Head EWMBA Graduate Advisor, and the law school registrar’s office (located in 270 Simon Hall).
- The law school waits until the end of their add/drop period to process such requests, to ensure priority for their own students. If the course is not full at the end of add/drops you will be given a Class Entry Code, which is tied to your specific seat in that particular course. You will need this in addition to the Course Control Number in order to register.
