Berkeley Engineering has a significant and growing number of programs aimed at preparing and increasing the number of nontraditional applicants and admits into the College of Engineering. These programs draw meaningful support from our faculty and include:

Note: Due to COVID-19, many organizations and events may be temporarily put on hold or postponed.
