Program Description

This intensive 4 semester program is intended for applicants with a strong interest in photography and image creation. Successful applicants will have a basic knowledge of photography and must demonstrate an understanding of imaging fundamentals. They will build a strong portfolio of photographic and illustrated images for a wide range of practical business applications. Along with artistic and technical skills, students will learn business and entrepreneurial skills. Students will work primarily in the digital realm of photography and imaging. Students will be required to purchase a minumum of photography/imaging equipment.

Photography Majors are advised in focusing their studies toward one of three tracks within the Film, Video, and Photographic Arts Major: Digital and Photographic Arts, Film and Video, or Publication Photography. As a Photography Major, all students gain valuable technical expertise in the use of professional imaging equipment, formats of digital and film cameras, studio lighting, and digital manipulation and enhancement. Students are educated in the traditional methods of photography – film and chemistry – producing a deep knowledge of the medium. They are exposed to film and video, digital editing and use special effects as integral to the study of still and moving imagery.
