The graduate program in Photography imparts a high level of digital and traditional photography skill, graduate quality theory and substantially educates and supports students in their investigation of the applied and fine arts specializations. This is accomplished through the mastery of specific skills according to the student’s needs; strong education in relation to relevant theory; emphasis on the student’s personal vision; a professional faculty that provides depth as well as breadth of experience; and facilities that provide a professional context for study. Students have the opportunity to concentrate in the area of photography of specific interest to them while becoming aware of core principles related to photography as a medium.
The philosophy of the Department is to support graduate students in becoming leaders rather than followers in their area of specialization. Photography courses include a mix of studio courses, individual advisement and seminars. Strong conceptual and technical knowledge is the underpinning of the curriculum with a powerful and cohesive body of work being the tangible result. The student’s Final Project is reviewed by a panel of experts and upon approval is exhibited to the public.
