Tuition & Financial Assistance for Graduate Students
PhD Students
All full-time PhD applications are reviewed for full financial support (tuition and health fee remission, stipend). Most offers of financial support are guaranteed for up to six years, as long as the student is making progress toward completion of the degree. Each engineering department may offer specific fellowships.
Master's Students
Master’s students are expected to be self-supporting. There are limited fellowship and research assistantship opportunities available for full-time master’s students.

- Tuition is based on the number of enrolled course units. When a student takes 9 or more units, a flat-rate tuition is applied. A per unit rate is applied if a student is enrolled in 8 or less units.
- Tuition for full-time students is determined by each student’s prime division, not by the division that teaches the course. Students should check with their department before enrolling in courses outside their division.
- International graduate students are not permitted to register for fewer than 9 units without special permission from the Office of International Students and Scholars.
