BERKELEY, CA --

The University of California may take on extra fees for students in certain fields.

UC Regents are considering a proposal to charge an extra $900 a year for undergraduates in engineering and business.

Professors in those fields apparently have much higher salaries, and the students usually find good-paying jobs once they graduate.

The extra charge would be on top of a $2,500 fee increase expected for all UC students next year.
