The Evening & Weekend MBA Program at the Haas School of Business offers working professionals access to one of the finest management educations in the world.

The Exchange Scholar Program is designed to enable doctoral students with superior academic records to study at one of the participating institutions to take advantage of educational opportunities that are not available at Berkeley. You are normally eligible to become an exchange scholar only after having completed one year in a Berkeley graduate degree program.

You may take courses or conduct research with particular faculty at the host institution for no more than one year while remaining registered at Berkeley. You can find an application form and further instructions on the Graduate Division Exchange Program website.

Participating institutions are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale.

Graduate reciprocity students are nominated by the partner universities under the provisions of specific contractual agreements and attend a UC campus for up to one academic year on a no-fee-exchange, non-degree basis.

A graduate student registered on any campus of the University of California may go to another campus of the University as an Intercampus Exchange Graduate Student. This privilege enables you to associate with scholars or fields of study not available on the home campus or to seek the use of special facilities and collections.

To do this, you need the approval of:

• Your graduate advisor,
• The chair of the department on the host campus, and
• The deans of the Graduate Division on the home and the host campus.

International students come to UC Berkeley for one or two semesters as part of the Education Abroad Program (EAP). EAP is a set of reciprocal exchanges between the University of California and its partner institutions abroad. Undergraduate reciprocity students are nominated by the partner universities under the provisions of specific contractual agreements and attend a UC campus for up to one academic year on a no-fee-exchange, non-degree basis.

This program enables University of California undergraduates to enroll in one course per term offered by another UC campus if they are:

• Registered and enrolled full-time at their home UC campus, and
• In good academic standing.

There are no additional fees for this program. Applications for the program are provided and processed by the student’s home UC campus. Questions about this process should be directed to the University Registrar at your home UC campus.
