I am told that most doctoral programs in the USA for the sciences are fully funded, and some even come with a stipend, because they need research and teaching assistants.
Fair enough, but would "computer science", "economics", and "psychology" also be considered sciences for this purpose? Are their PhD programs generally fully funded? Or maybe slightly less funded than that for math and physics?
What about for engineering?
What about for less scientific fields like history and philosophy?
And what about foreign languages?
Is there a rule of thumb as to which subjects generally receive the fully funded PhD?
Note: I am asking only about the USA, not about other places!
