For the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography
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.
