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 2018.
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 | $42,750 |
| Comprehensive fee | $1,300 |
| Professional Recording Services fee Master of Music in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games only | $1,200 |
| Required Software Bundle Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games Music Production, Technology, and Innovation Contemporary Performance (Production Concentration) Global Entertainment and Music Business | $1,050 $700 $650 $0 |
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Once a student is withdrawn from the college, there is no opportunity to be readmitted during the same academic year. A withdrawn student who wishes to return to the college must complete the admissions process and be newly accepted.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 the Graduate Bulletin.
For more information, please contact the Valencia Campus Bursar’s Office at bursarvalencia@berklee.edu.
As a supplement to the University Refund Policy, we also offer a Tuition Insurance program through Liberty Mutual Insurance which provides 100% reimbursement of all insured tuition, room and board, and some fees. Coverage includes withdrawal due to illness, injury, mental health issues and other reasons. Visit the Tuition Insurance page to learn more.
To accept your admissions offer and reserve your place in the class, a nonrefundable $2,500 tuition deposit must be made in U.S. Dollars by the below deadlines. Tuition deposits are nonrefundable, and scholarship or federal loan money cannot be used to pay the deposit.
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 (even if the tuition deposit is received before the tuition deposit deadline). Your tuition deposit will be deducted from your first tuition payment.
Tuition Deposit Deadline: May 1, 2019
Choose a payment option below.
Paying by Flywire with Credit or Debit Card
Depending on what country you are paying from, visit flywire.com/school/berklee to pay your $2,500 tuition deposit by credit or debit card. Flywire charges you in your local currency, and tells you the exact amount that will be charged before you make the payment. You can also use Flywire to do a bank transfer (see the below payment option).
Paying Over the Phone with Credit Card
Tuition deposit payments can be made over the phone by calling 1 877 482-0140 from the U.S.
Since payment received through “bill pay” will be in the form of a check it will take approximately a week to two weeks before payment is received by the college, depending on location and bank.
Include the student ID number with the check payment
Note that if a student makes a deposit after program capacity has been reached, and is therefore put on a waitlist, the deposit may be deferred to the next academic year or refunded.
For more information regarding payments, please contact the Valencia Campus Bursar’s Office at bursarvalencia@berklee.edu.

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
