The curriculum in photography requires 122 credit hours; its
purpose is to encourage the study of photographic media for personal
expression, to explore the social implications of pictures, and to
develop the skills needed for careers in photography. General art
requirements and electives provide a broad foundation in the visual
arts, and photography courses provide a strong background in the
history, theory, and practice of photography as art.
A graduating senior will be required to complete a portfolio of
photographs under the supervision of a photography faculty
adviser. Students must provide certain materials in all photography
studio classes. These include film, paper, and a fully adjustable 35mm
or 120 roll film camera.
