What You'll Study
The Studio Art major offers a track in Photography, which allows you to customize your art curriculum around your passion.
Combining historical and contemporary elements in photography, you'll dive into techniques and processes used both in the dark room and in digital facilities. The concentration focuses heavily on giving you a taste of both the craft of photography and the critical thinking and conceptual development behind it.
Putting your education into action is one of the best ways to test your skills. F(10) is a student-run organization that gives you the opportunity to travel to shows, and also showcase your own work.

One More Thing
Dani Beaumier, Class of 2016The Photography and Art department faculty go above and beyond the call of duty. They curate shows for us and invite relevant contemporary artists for studio visits. The professors design the courses to strengthen shortcomings, and individual talents are brought to light. My overall experience has been nothing but positive."
