Don't be as flamboyantly gay there as you are on the internets.
Does anyone know about this university?
I was going to go to UTSA next Fall but they do not have a Sports Management program and Incarnate Word does.
I do not know a thing about Incarnate Word. Is it expensive? Is it a good school to go to?

I rather hear it from people who live around the area or have went to school there.
That is incredibly weird ... I was just reviewing an order they placed with us right when I opened the Club.
I know they have a beautiful light display at Christmas...
ok

Being a private university they're going to be super duper exspensive, probably small class sizes and have good relationships with the professors as oppossed with the bigger schools (you go to Texas State right?) where you have the huge class sizes.
Decent if unspectacular college; quite a bit more expensive than UTSA (private schools generally are). A lot smaller enrollment-wise, which IMO is a good thing. About $20K/year for tuition and fees. Add $6K to live on-campus. Good financial aid available:
* Full-time freshman enrollment: 573
* Number who applied for need-based aid: 542
* Number who were judged to have need: 425
* Number who were offered aid: 425
* Number who had full need met: 272
* Average percent of need met: 68%
* Average financial aid package: $12,547
* Average need-based loan: $2,838
* Average need-based scholarship or grant award: $8,274
* Average non-need based aid: $5,869
* Average indebtedness at graduation: $23,383
Might want to brush up on the 'ol grammer skills before you fill out the essay part of your application as well.
If you're really serious, I can have a friend of mine pass some stuff along. She graduated from there recently and is now at Texas Woman's doing her grad work.
$20K/year???? Holy . I wonder how many hours that is.
My tu ion and fees for Texas State for 12 hrs was a little under $3K for a semester so around 6-8K a year. I would never be able to afford $20K a year.
Yes, I am serious. I am going into Sports Management, where ever the place is. Not many universities in Texas have Sports Management programs. The only others are Rice, Houston, Texas, Texas A&M (Bachelor's programs).
Also, I am not a freshman, I would be a transfer student.
As I said, there's a lot of financial aid offered. Don't let that stop you from trying; they'll put together an aid package and the more dire straits you are in financially, the more they will offer. THEN you can decide.
Not to mention spelling, hey?
Yea, that would probably help too.
Damnit
Very few people are able to afford that kind of money for school out of pocket, but there are financial aid programs available. Texas State is a state funded school, thats why its so cheap. All private universities are more expensive, but generally speaking they are better schools. You can't really get much worse than UTSA, however.
Yes. They do. In two weeksI know they have a beautiful light display at Christmas...
Well I am goin to get that FASFA or whatever. Then I guess I can get Financial Aid.
I have a degree from UTSA and proud of it.
Are you saying UT? Or another university?
University of Texas-Austin. UT, yes.
Being a transfer student will reduce, to some extent at least, your overall expenditure while you're in college. But, there's also a price to being a transfer. Transfer applications are frequently viewed more searchingly than the applications of those who would be incoming freshmen. By that, I mean that some schools won't take transfers who don't meet fairly rigorous requirements for admission.
On top of that, you're likely to lose some hours in transfer, which will increase your cost on the backend and either keep you in school longer or require you to take more than the usual load of hours if you intend to graduate on time. At a private university, hanging around a bit longer than normal can get very expensive, as others have stated.
In the end, though, I'd say that it never hurts to try. I'd recommend that you apply for admission and for as much financial aid as you possibly can, and see what happens. It could well be that UIW will be extremely generous with financial aid and make the possibility of a transfer a very affordable one and help you to reach your goals.
But also I think you should remember that it doesn't necessarily take a degree in sports management to find a job in sports management. There are plenty of people with careers in sports management that don't have degrees in that field; there are also plenty of people with degrees in sports management who are working other jobs. If I were you, I'd be going around and offering my services to any job that might allow me a foot in the door of that industry -- in San Antonio, I'd be volunteering to work in the management offices of the Spurs, Missions, Rampage, Silver Stars, or any other similar organization. It would be odd to me that universities would have such internships available to students from other campuses, but it wouldn't hurt to try the Athletic Departments at UTSA, UIW, Trinity, Texas State and places like that, too. If you can find local businesses that operate in that field, I'd try them too. Even if you have the degree, most employers will want the experience -- and if you have the experience, the degree might not make any difference.
They do have a sports management program?? I had looked and didn't see one.
Yeah, that is what I want to do. I want to do something with the Spurs. I was looking forward to the internship. If I wouldn't have to get the degree and still get the job then I would love that. Because I want to be working in what I love the most, sports rather than wasting my time in school.
