Funded physics masters programs

In summary, the speaker is looking for funded masters programs in physics with a tuition waiver and stipend, preferably in a country where it is common for the department to fund incoming students. They mention Miami University, San Diego State University, and North Dakota State University as potential options. Another person mentions that it is typical for master's students to be funded in Canadian universities and suggests looking into the University of Yellowknife, but the speaker prefers not to go that far north. They also mention that Calgary has had unusually warm weather recently.

I was wondering if you guys know of any funded masters programs in physics - tuition waiver + stipend; or only stipend enough to cover tuition and modest living expenses. I am not too particular about the country but I am looking for programs where the norm is that the department funds all their incoming students. Any input is much appreciated!

I found the following ones:
Miami University, OH
San Diego State University
North Dakota State University

In Canadian universities, it's typical that master's students are funded, if you're interested in the Great White North.

No need to go that far for the "Great White North." I once spent a day sightseeing in Calgary during a blizzard... in mid May!

Sounds about right. Oddly enough, Calgary's had more rain than snow this Winter. Temperatures have been above freezing since mid January o_O.
