buckinghamubadger Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am getting an MA in political science and may want to go on to get a PhD depending on my job prospects after the MA. If I do cost will be a huge factor in my decision, and I would be extremely greatful for a list of fully funded programs, or just knowledge that you have of particular programs that are fully funded. So far I know of three: Stanford George Washington USC Arturov, throwaway123456789 and cooperstreet 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckinghamubadger Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Is there somewhere I can find a list of them? Otherwise I think it would be valuable to compile one. I found 5 additional programs MIT University of Minnesota NYU Notre Dame Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) throwaway123456789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Most are fully funded, or fully funded for most folks. Duke, UNC, and Vanderbilt are fully funded. I think CUNY is too. UMD funds most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperstreet Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Any respectable PhD program is fully funded. law2phd, throwaway123456789, rising_star and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law2phd Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) It would be far easier to compile a list of programs which are not fully funded, since almost all are. And the only programs I can think of worth attending on such a list would be some of the UC schools--for out-of-state residents only--because of budgetary issues with paying the additional ~$20k per year it costs to keep such students at a state university. Edit: And to be clear, even these schools fully fund their top recruits. They just might accept a few students per year without full funding.

Usually these fund too, because you can establish residency after 1 year. It is more of an issue for international students. Maybe not all the UC Schools do, but the 'good' ones do. law2phd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
