If your home state has no program for illustration, maybe you can go to a neighboring state that participates in the southern regional common market, and get in-state rates. I did a quick search and came up with this… They didn’t list illustration as a major, but visual communication can’t be too far off.

Also, I know Towson U in Maryland has an illustration major (and you can take a class or two at neighboring MICA as well). OOS tuition, fees, r & b, and expenses total about 33K according to them although they do give merit aid.

I’m wondering if you could lobby to pay in-state rates there since GA doesn’t have any schools with illustration? I know that MD doesn’t have any state schools for interior design and we could go to UGA for that and pay in-state rates. It might be worth a try.

Virginia Commonwealth U also has illustration/visual communication. Their oos rates look to be similar to Towson’s (but a little more difficult to understand). I don’t know how they are for merit aid.
