Photography

The Photography program integrates technical competence and visual awareness. Experiences promote personal and professional growth toward careers in photography and media photography.

In addition to the core courses (EMC 1020, JOUR 2710 and EMC 4250), all photography students take a two-dimensional design course from the Art department.

This program emphasizes, but is not limited to, photography for the media, including editorial, assignment, corporate, advertising, public relations, documentary photography, digital imaging, and photojournalism. Graduates can also enter the field as studio owners, lab owners and operators, photographers' assistants, and freelance, architectural, and medical photographers.
