Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication (BFA) with a concentration in Photography

The life of a photographer can be as varied as the subjects they capture. But all successful professional photographers share certain traits: they must posses both a keen eye and technical expertise. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the most successful photographers are those with business savvy, creativity, and an ability to take advantage of emerging technologies. Real-world experience and a relevant Bachelor’s degree are two key qualifications for those beginning a career in the field.

What is Financial Aid

Financial Aid is federal, state, and private funding used to assist students in funding their education. Grants and scholarships are considered “Gift Aid” which does not need to be paid back. On the other hand, loans, referred to as “Self Help” have to be paid back. Loans come with numerous repayment options and attractive interest rates. The University also offers student employment which includes federal work study positions, either on- or off- campus.

University grants or scholarships are based on established criteria as published in the University’s catalog and are awarded after verification that the conditions of eligibility have been met.
