Minor in Photography

Students completing 18 hours in photographic study can expect to obtain a sophisticated understanding of the photographically derived image and the technical and creative skills necessary for its production. Classes offered by the Photography Program, which is a part of the Division of Art, integrate the technical aspects of the medium with the aesthetic concerns traditional to the fine arts. Through the use of photography, students learn to think and express themselves visually. A minor in photography prepares students for further work in fine arts or commercial photography and other areas where knowledge of photography is helpful. Beyond vocational applications, a minor in photography creates a firm foundation for future creative development.
