Program Overview
Photography students gain practical skills using traditional darkrooms and modern digital tools like professional cameras and imaging software.
Commercial studios provide an ideal learning and creating environment with professional equipment. Digital-imaging classrooms, labs, and a variety of cameras and lighting gear are also available.
The photo department has always been very helpful with and understanding about any problems or questions I have had.
