Hi there!
I've been going to various university sites, trying to make a list of decent/good schools offering waived tuition and/or stipends to Master's students in English programs. I've been told multiple times that I should not pay for a Master's degree, but it seems many programs only offer fully funded PhDs, leaving Master's students to fend for themselves, so to speak.
I am in the Northeast, but I have no problem traveling, providing they will help me pay to stay there. I do plan to continue to a PhD, so it is not necessarily important where my MA is coming from, as long as they have an engaging and (for lack of a better word) "good" English department.
Some of the schools I found which I believe offer tuition and stipends for English MA are:
Syracuse, Penn State, Cornell, and possibly Michigan?
It is a bit confusing on some of the sites, since it is hard to tell if they are talking about Master's or PhD programs at some points of their funding literature.
I looked into UPenn, Emory, and Northwestern, all of which offer a fully funded PhD but not MA.
TL;DR
2 questions:
Is there a comprehensive list of schools that offer fully funded Master's in English?
Are their schools which offer fully funded dual MA/PhD programs in English?
If there is not a list complied somewhere, maybe someone can suggest a few schools that they know of.
Thanks in advance!
