This prepares today’s media specialist to work with digital as well as conventional photographic, video, and motion picture tools and applications.

The Photography / Digital Media program prepares artists to take full advantage of the traditional and contemporary modes of creating, manipulating, printing and/or publishing their photographs, lens-based artworks, and media art productions. Students are expected to develop their own identities as artists, as well as learn the technical, historical, and critical approaches to studio practices in their field. They also are encouraged to bring a strong sense of individualism and imagination to the program.
