I received the same letter of acceptance from UNCC as well, with no funding information. I believe the funding information will show up in our UNCC account inbox (I think they call this the "Niner"(?)) any day now. I'm still waiting on one more PhD program (been painfully rejected by all so far because of my GRE score), but I may just go ahead and take out a loan so I can get this MA!
Also, your areas of interest are REALLY similar to mine. If we both end up at UNCC, we definitely have to go grab some coffee!
