Program Description

The Photography program ensures that students produce technically and aesthetically sound work. Under the guidance of a faculty of working professionals in the field of photography, students fine tune their style, both in terms of content and approach. Students develop the technical, critical and practical skills that are required in the challenging and diverse photography profession. Coupling advanced technical skills alongside design and concept knowledge, students develop a cohesive portfolio of personal signature images that demonstrate strength in image making.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts requires completion of 132 semester units. Students who already have a bachelor's degree can enroll in our streamlined Second Degree Program that is 66 units without requiring any Liberal Arts or Art electives.
