Continuing your education is a sound investment in your future and the decision to pursue a graduate degree is an important one.

The total Nancy and Douglas Abbey MRED+D required program fees for the 2024-2025 year are $87,420; we anticipate the 2025-2026 required program fees will be ~$89,000, but please note that this is not yet confirmed. This year’s total is composed of the following breakdown:

Required Fees
Program Fees
$84,638.50
Campus Fees
$2,781.50
Total Required Fees
$87,420

Estimated Additional Cost of Attendance

In addition, students can expect to pay for books, health insurance, housing, transportation, and other personal costs. Please visit the UC Berkeley Financial Aid & Scholarships website for estimated cost of attendance.

Student Health Insurance Plan

The University requires that all students have major medical insurance, and provides the Berkeley Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) to meet this requirement. For complete information, including cost of coverage, please visit the SHIP Website. 

  • All Abbey MRED+D students will automatically be enrolled in SHIP for all three academic terms of the degree program. 
  • Students who have comparable insurance coverage may apply for a waiver from SHIP enrollment (and fees).  In order to waive SHIP, you must be enrolled in a medical health insurance plan that meets ALL of the waiver criteria guidelines of UC Berkeley for the entire SHIP term.  Please note that the waiver criteria may be updated throughout the year. You must meet the waiver criteria in place at the time of your waiver submission to be waived out of SHIP.

All fees are subject to change. The tuition, fees, and charges posted here are estimates based on currently approved amounts. These figures may not be final. Actual tuition, fees, and charges are subject to change by the Regents of the University of California and could be affected by State funding reductions. Accordingly, final approved levels (and thus a student’s final balance due) may differ from the amounts shown.

Financing Your Education

The responsibility of financing the Abbey MRED+D program usually rests primarily with the student. Therefore, we strongly suggest that applicants investigate all available financing options. We have gathered all of the information we have on funding sources on this page, although it is certainly not exhaustive, and applicants are encouraged to conduct their own research. International students should explore funding opportunities in their home countries.
