[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is this correct? I assumed so, but a friend’s son has applied for an electrical engineering masters and will not be funded. Deciding between UCLA and UW.[/quote] If he only applied for a masters, it's usually not funded unless he can secure a TA-ship or RA-ship. That's not uncommon. However, if he were accepted into a funded PhD program that awards a masters along the way, yes that's a way to get a "free" masters. Source: my son who is a 3r year PhD candidate and earned a masters in MechEng at no cost to him during his first two years. The tuition cost for that masters would have been ~$150,000, but was all covered by the universtity. On top of that he's paid about $50K/year for his PhD stipend. A lot of people forget to include the value of that free tuition.[/quote]
