Photography

Photography students study photography as fine art with an emphasis on the history of photography and the body of criticism surrounding the medium, as well as the development of their own personal vision and experimentation in the studio.

The curriculum introduces students to both analog and digital production, and offers a wide variety of elective courses providing a strong foundation for critical thinking, collaboration, and a career in photographic arts.
