Admissions for Master's Degree Programs (M.S. and M.Eng.) at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering is managed by the academic departments. Follow the links below for program-specific information. As noted below, there is a separate admissions process for the Master of Advanced Study degrees for Working Professionals. The Jacobs School is committed to building and strengthening an inclusive academic culture where everyone has what they need to thrive both academically and personally. Our IDEA Engineering Student Center is a hub for these activities. Read a March 2023 message from the Dean regarding the Jacobs School's strong support for our graduate students.
