Photography
BA Art: Photography
Minor: Photography
Our society has become increasingly visual within our ever-expanding digital landscape.
The tools, soft skills, services, and resources that photographers practice have become indispensable to the countless disciplines it merges with, creating a growing demand for visual expertise. Contrary to perception, the photo industry continues to grow and evolve rather than slow down.
The BA in Art: Photography empowers you to not just enter this expanding market but to help shape it. You’ll be prepared for a career informed by your interests, voice, and values, gaining experience and proficiency in a variety of cutting-edge and traditional mediums, tools, and technologies. You’ll join a community of like-minded photographers and mentors, and graduate as an adaptable, visual innovator ready for jobs and careers–some that may not even exist yet.
