How do I apply for acceptance into the Computer Graphic Arts program at UIW?
As a young program we currently have an open door policy. Just sign up for CART 1301 (Introduction to Computer Graphic Arts) and CART 1380 (Foundations of Digital Design) to get started. As the program grows, the requirements to be a major will grow tougher as the talent level rises. Right now is a great time for everyone interested in any aspect of computer graphic arts.

What kind of computer background do I need to be a CART major?
None really. Typically, our majors have a strong interest in computer graphic arts and many have had experience in the area. However, if you have interest in computer generated art or are interested in exploring any area of CGA as a career take a class and see if it lights your fire.

How can I pay for tuition at UIW?
The financial aid department here at the University of the Incarnate Word is an aggressive and helpful office. Their site says:
The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide resources to students who would otherwise be unable to pursue a post-secondary education. At UIW, we believe that all students should be able to attend the university that best suits their academic and personal needs.
They're very willing and able to help. However, many of the funds are first come, first serve, so get in contact with them now.
