Photography students frame their future through the development of visual literacy, critical thinking and creative expression skills. Through lens-based processes students are immersed in their creative, professional, technical and intellectual growth in order to engage in complex, rich and multifaceted approaches to image making.
Our students are supported by accomplished active faculty and staff as well as a multitude of opportunities to interact with internationally acclaimed visiting artists who provide a wide range of views and approaches throughout the course of study. Supplementing the classroom and studio experience, students are connected to internships through our strong network of award-winning alumni (commercial photographers, fine art galleries or other creative professionals) who provide excellent creative and professional opportunities and the student organization, Parallax.
While in the program students are immersed in genres and mediums spanning historic processes, black and white, digital imaging, mixed media, web technology, installation and video. Students leave the program empowered through the development of a professional and creative practice, self-discipline, cultural awareness and a personal voice. Throughout the curriculum students have regular access to an up-to-date digital scanning and printing studio, a lighting studio, large darkroom and alternative processes spaces, as well as equipment and library resources related to the study of photography.
