All graduate programs on the Valencia campus are designed to be completed in three semesters of study—or one full academic year: fall, spring, and summer semesters. The fees below represent the direct costs charged by the college for the graduate programs starting September 2016.
Please note tuition and related costs for the 2017/2018 academic year will be published in December.
The academic year includes fall, spring, and summer semesters.
| Application fee Waived for Berklee alumni | $150 |
| Nonrefundable tuition deposit To be credited towards first tuition payment | $2,500 |
| Tuition | $41,100 |

Students are required to pay tuition and fees by the payment due date for each semester. If a student adds additional courses during the add/drop period, he or she must pay the additional fee(s) at the time of enrollment. If payment is not received, the college will make every internal effort to collect these funds. Restrictions will be placed on any account with an outstanding balance prohibiting access to grades, transcripts, degrees, diplomas, and participation in any future term at the college. The restriction will remain until the account is paid in full.
All students who desire to withdraw from the college are required to settle all financial obligations with the college, to return all college property, and to complete a Withdrawal from the College form. Students withdrawing before the first day of the program start (September) will receive a 100% credit of their tuition charges. However, the nonrefundable tuition deposit and all fees will be forfeited.
Once a student is withdrawn from the college, there is no opportunity to be readmitted during the same academic year. A withdrawn student who wishes to return to the college must complete the admissions process and be newly accepted.
Students withdrawing during the first four weeks of the program are eligible for a tuition credit according to the following schedule:
| Withdrawal | Tuition Charged |
| Before Classes Begin | 0% |
| Week 1 | 20% |
| Week 2 | 40% |
| Week 3 | 60% |
| Week 4 | 80% |
| Week 5+ | 100% |
These percentages are weekly guidelines; actual refunds are based on calendar days. For more information on tuition and aid percentages for students withdrawing, refer to page 11-12 in the 2015/2016 Graduate Bulletin.
For more information, please contact the Valencia Campus Bursar’s Office at bursarvalencia@berklee.edu.
To accept your admissions offer and reserve your place in the class starting in September 2017, a nonrefundable $2,500 tuition deposit must be made in U.S. Dollars by the below deadlines.
Due to limited spots in each program, students are encouraged to make the deposit as soon as possible. Once the program reaches full capacity, students depositing subsequently will be put on a wait-list. Tuition deposits are nonrefundable and cannot be deferred to future academic years, nor may scholarship or federal loan money be used to pay the deposit. Your tuition deposit will be deducted from your first tuition payment.
Tuition Deposit Deadline: May 5, 2017

For the fall semester, students must sign up for TMS no later than June 1. For the spring semester, students must sign up by November 1. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in the student owing one or more up-front payments at the time of signing up for TMS. The payment plan is not available for the summer semester.
Since this option may be combined with other forms of payment, you should be certain to budget the necessary amount with TMS to meet your needs. If you have under-budgeted, you will be expected to pay the difference directly to the College prior to the beginning of classes.
To sign up for TMS, please visit berklee.afford.com
