<p>Are M.S. Programs usually funded or will I have to pay for everything? I know PhD Programs are fully funded.</p>
<p>Some are, some aren’t. It depends on the field, the program and the school.</p>
<p>In general, there is less funding available for master’s programs. But less by no means equals zero.</p>
<p>Look for programs where a master’s degree is required for admittance to a Ph.D - at such programs, MS students are generally funded to provide a pipeline of doctoral candidates. Also, look for schools that only offer a master’s and not a doctorate in your field of interest - there, you wouldn’t be competing for the same pot of money.</p>
