| The photography program prepares students to meet a wide range of professional challenges and to pursue a variety of career opportunities. The program stresses visual literacy and encourages students to develop an aesthetic that synthesizes personal temperament with a contemporary understanding of the medium's history and its cultural ties.
A full range of courses is offered. Facilities are available for large format and studio lighting, black-and-white and color printing, and digital imaging, including a complete silkscreen and offset print shop. While we are building up the digital component in many of our course offerings, we recognize the impact that the camera-derived image has within both the fine arts and the culture at large. Students can augment their studies by using School and University resources, which include traditional media, video, cultural studies, and the Center for the Book.
A varied and diverse faculty ensures that the program is contemporary in its approach and pluralistic in its scope. Enrollment in required courses averages 12 students.
Scholarships are available on a competitive basis for students within the School. A limited number of graduate assistantships are available to qualified students.
