UIC's GEP Fall 2014

Published

Just looking to see if anyone else out there has applied to UIC's GEP for Fall 2014. I just finished my application.

I have an undergraduate degree (1994) from Iowa State in Art & Design and a Master's degree (1996) from UIC in Art Therapy. Hopefully my alumni status will increase my chances.

I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and, if accepted, will commute.

How about you?

Can any of the current GEP students talk about assistantships? How do you guys make a living?

I was accepted to UIC and plan to attend but have to say the communication about the program and curriculum has been very poor. Also I can't seem to get an email back from tuition office or veteran office. It does seem that UIC's cost is pretty damn high for out of state students and also a little bit longer than some other entry CNL programs. Anyways, I hope they make a Facebook page or something for us soon so we can all communicate better! Here is the *proposed* curriculum that I had to nearly beg for to get...:

wow you are awesome Kapteezy21!!!!!! I was so surprise this wasn't in our acceptance packet. wow its 2 semesters more than the others schools I'm deciding on... but less units per semester. over all only 8 units more, but 2 semesters longer. I wonder if it would be less "intense" but this program is going to be so expensive for out of staters like me!

you're welcome DOKHTARSHIRAZI! I basically had to nag and beg for it...weird. Yea Elmhurst for example is only 5 semesters like you said but I still think I will take UIC even though it is insanely expensive. Where are you coming from, California? I am. I ask because your username is Farsi and I have some friends with the last name Shirazi and of course dokhtar means girl/misses etc. :) if anyone else wants to add each other on Facebook let us know, Navy_PO2 and I already have done so to talk more quickly

Hello Everyone!

It looks everyone here is from California! lol That's nice! Hope all you guys got your admission packet! Although, I have not received mine and it's taking forever, I was told to just wait for it. I'm originally from the Philippines moved here in Illinois when I was 10 y/o. I'm active duty in US Navy and working as a training instructor here in Great Lakes. I'm getting ready to get out AD and moving to reserve to attend grad-school. So far, that's the plan and I can't wait to start!!! Like Kapteezy21 said we have been talking a lot on FB.

If you plan on living on-campus at SSR, I'll be going on a tour this week to get some information about the building. I'll let you all know how it went and update you with anything.
