Photography, Minor
Program Description
The Photography minor is intended for all students interested in photography. Photographic images infiltrate nearly all aspects of contemporary society from Art + Design, Architecture, Advertising, Journalism, and Media, to Education, Politics, Criminal Justice, Health and Science. In this program, students will learn the fundamental techniques of deliberate picture-making in order to create series and stories in images. They will also engage with the history, theory, and contemporary dialogues surrounding the medium through lectures, readings, and critiques. Throughout the program students will be guided in the production of a professional portfolio of images, in accordance with their interests and ability.
Students who select this minor must consult with the Faculty Advisor to the Photography minor prior to completing 9 credit hours of coursework in the program. A minor declaration must be filed with the Advisor in the College of Liberal Arts.
