If I have an questions, who should I contact? (back to top)
Send an email to admissions@MSENGROL.seas.ucla.edu. Please include your name and UCLA ID number.

Is there an application fee? (back to top)
The non-refundable application fee ($60.00 for U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents; $80.00 for all other applicants) can be paid by credit card or, if necessary, by check.

The application fee must be paid before an application can be processed.

UCLA accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. If you must pay by check, please make the check payable to the Regents of the University of California. If a check is written for you by someone else, be sure your name and other identifying information (applicant ID, date of birth, department to which you are applying, etc.) appear on the face of the check.

Please be aware that if you select the check option, the initial processing of your application will be delayed by a minimum of seven to 10 working days. The date your payment is received is considered date your application is submitted.

* A student may propose a sequence he/she is interested in which may mix courses from various areas. As part of the proposal the student must list the courses he/she wishes to take and must demonstrate that course pre-requisites would not be a problem. The student's proposal will be subject to faculty review and approval.

How do I enroll? (back to top)
The Academic Student Affairs Counselor will manually enroll you in your online courses for the M.S. online program.

What is the estimated cost of the program? (back to top)
Each course is $3,333.33 (The fee for the 9-course program is $30,000).

With respect to additional costs for textbooks, UCLA instructors sometimes use their own notes and other times use texts, etc. Generally we don't know these exact costs until the course begins. On average, an estimate of about $100.00 can be expected to be added per course.

What are the hardware and software requirements to view online lectures? (back to top)

1. A broadband connection (Cable, Fiber, or DSL)
   
2. Mac, PC and Linux with Flash Player 7.0 +
3. IE 5.5, Netscape 6.2, Mozilla 1.2.3 or Safari 1.3.1

What is the calendar for the M.S. Engr. online program? (back to top)
The M.S. Engr. online program follows the same calendar as the on campus programs.
Refer to http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/calendar/calf07.htm

Will the degree or the transcripts from the online program state "Masters online? (back to top)
Each student's transcript will list courses by department name and course number, in the same manner as they are for the on-campus programs. The transcript's degree designation will read "Master of Science in Engineering" and, because of equivalency, there will be no mention of "online."
