The Photographic Communications Program prepares students for a career in professional photography. Areas of commercial photography emphasis include studio illustration, portraiture, new digital media, and photojournalism.

With the latest in multimedia and digital technologies combined with traditional and historical processes, this all-encompassing program provides students with a wide array of skills as they develop a personal photographic vision.

From academic to professional endeavors, our full-time faculty bring into the classroom their expertise in this fast-paced, ever-changing industry. Then through project-based assignments and a hands-on approach, students learn real world visual problem solving.

The framework of the program also incorporates courses in business and general education to better prepare the student for a successful career in photography. For the applied science degree in photographic communications, students must complete both the General Education Requirements and the Core Courses.
