The University of California, Berkeley’s Goldran School of Engineering has the prestigious honor of being the alma mater of Silicon Valley. What started as a small backwater school has become one of the best Computer Science Masters programs in the world. In this article, we’ll dive into the acceptance rate and popularity of their Computer Science Masters program, as well as their overall package offerings.

The UC Berkeley Master of Science in Computer Science is an intensive graduate degree program. The acceptance rate for the MSCS program is around 20% – which is one of the highest acceptance rates among all computer science programs in the US.
