<p>Hi, is it easier to get into the EECS terminal MS program at Berkeley than the MS/PhD?
I would think so, but on the EECS website, they seem to imply that the terminal MS program is small and that most people apply to the MS/PhD program.</p>

<p>At many schools, terminal masters programs are typically unfunded and are largely restricted to undergraduates who attended the school. If MS-EECS at UC Berkeley is funded, I would not surprised if it were as competitive if not more than the PhD program.</p>
<p>Email the admissions counselors. They can usually provide this info.
Some MS programs are as competitive as Phd, but most are easier to get into. It depends from school to school.</p>
