Program information
Have a passion for photography? Make it your profession! Our Photography program will equip you with the creative, traditional, and technical skills for taking, editing, and printing photos, preparing you for freelance opportunities or transfer to a bachelor’s program.
The curriculum begins with a focus on the fundamentals of both the film camera, the traditional wet-process darkroom, and digital camera, as well as editing software. In the second year, you will deepen their expertise by applying techniques to studio photography, video, and fashion photography, while also preparing for professional practice through capstone projects and portfolio development.
The Photography curriculum is designed for students aiming for careers in studio, sports, event, and fine art photography.
