Program Benefits
Art and Graphic Design Majors
This minor benefits Art majors who concentrate in Studio Art and who want to be competitive in the field of photography. Art majors would choose an area of emphasis under the Studio Art concentration (other than photography) and also complete the Photography minor. The Photography minor also serves as a complement to the B.F.A. in Graphic Design.
Non-Art Majors
This minor opens up a photography education to non-art majors and might complement areas of study such as Anthropology, Geography, Biology, Communication, Media, Journalism, Dance or Marketing and also has the flexibility to be a minor for students in unrelated fields who have a passion for photography.
