Information about the market cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the areas surrounding campus where its students commonly reside can be found on the UC Berkeley Housing Resource page (see Off-Campus Housing> Typical Rent ranges).
Living Expenses are on the conservative side and assume careful budgeting as well as sharing living quarters with at least one other person. Please be aware that your expenses may be higher depending on your personal lifestyle. Amounts are based on a nine-month academic year. Students who will attend with their families should expect to augment any personal budget estimates by at least 35% for an accompanying spouse and 20% for each child. Beginning in August, case-by-case reviews of living and transportation expenses may result in additional eligibility for student loans.
Please contact the Haas Financial Aid Office for information on what qualifies as an adjustment and how to request an adjustment starting in the Fall.
*Tuition & Fees: Out-of-state residents in Graduate Academic Programs will include Nonresident Supplemental Tuition. Students participating in a concurrent degree program will be assessed the Professional Degree Supplemental Tuition for each program that they are enrolled in. The tuition, fees, and charges posted here are estimates based on currently approved amounts. Tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by the Regents of the University of California. For planning purposes, students should anticipate a 5-6% increase in the cost of attendance annually. For more information on tuition, fees, and residency, visit the UC Berkeley Office of the Registrar.
**Books & Supplies: Standard allowance intended to cover your course-related materials that are determined by your professor(s).
***Health Insurance: Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) may be waived upon submission of proof of a comparable health insurance policy. Waiver forms are available from University Health Services (UHS). Please note that SHIP does not include a spouse or dependents; that coverage must be purchased separately. For more information, please review these Dependent Care Options, or email your questions to [email protected].
What are my direct costs?
Direct costs are items that are billed to your student account at the beginning of each term. These items include:
- Tuition and Fees: Fees are charged by the university. For planning purposes, students should plan to make a payment by August 15 for the fall term and January 15 for the spring term.
- Health Insurance: Students are automatically enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP). SHIP may be waived if a student has comparable or better insurance. Students that wish to waive SHIP should submit a waiver for approval by July 1.
What are my indirect costs?
Indirect costs are estimated expenses not billed to your student account. These items include:
- Housing and Food: Expenses are for nine months. Divide housing and food expenses by 9 to develop a monthly housing and food budget. Helpful Tip: Buying bulk and cooking at home help make costs economical.
- Books, Supplies, and Other Costs: Reasonable estimates of course-related materials and educational-related expenses. Creating a budget and spending plan is key to managing costs.
If you are a recipient of a scholarship and/or borrowing loans in excess of tuition and fees, you may use those resources to help cover your indirect costs.
IMPORTANT: Please contact the Haas Financial Aid Office immediately if you become aware of financial aid exceeding the Cost of Attendance. A loan return may need to be initiated if a student anticipates GSI Fee Remissions, Third Party Contract, and/or any additional Gift Aid that exceeds the Cost of Attendance.
