Art history at public universities?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am a student at Marist College (on a leave of absence this semester) and looking to transfer for the Spring 2013 semester. I am very passionate about art history and want to major in it. I really want a bigger school that is affordable (preferably under 30k for all tuition, board, and fees) that has a lot of school spirit and a good art program. I really do not care about location - like I said, my big concerns are size, cost, and a good art history program.</p>

<p>I have already applied to UConn (in state) and am considering University of South Florida. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>There are some great public universities with excellent Art History programs, like UCLA, but their OOS fees are astronomical. Public does not equal inexpensive. Throw a few privates with good financial aid into the mix.</p>

<p>Can you suggest any privates with good financial aid? Money is the big concern here, I don’t want to be too much in debt!</p>

<p>Do you qualify for the amount of aid you need? </p>

<p>Transfers rarely get much FA, and if your family can pay $30k per year, then it’s likely you won’t get much/any aid.</p>

<p>It’s very doubtful that a spring transfer will get any money other than a student loan.</p>

<p>What is your FAFSA EFC? </p>

<p>You’re right to be concerned about borrowing too much. Have you borrowed much so far?</p>

<p>Are you on leave from Marist be</p>

<p>It’s not that my family can pay that much, it’s just that I would rather not take out more than that in loans per year. So far I’ve borrowed 16k. Do spring transfers really not get much money an if so, why not?</p>
