PHOTOGRAPHY

Our undergraduate program emphasizes an integration of traditional photography, alternative processes and digital imaging. Stressing technical excellence in the service of strong intellectual,emotional and critical content, ourstudents are given a thorough knowledge of the camera, darkroom and studio techniques. They are then encouraged to make images about the things they know, to comment and form value judgments based on both theory and personal experience.

Photography/Digital Imaging (MFA)

The Graduate Program encourages individual experimentation in an interdisciplinary curriculum. The student, in conjunction with the faculty advisor, maps a plan of study that accentuates and builds the student's strength while minimizing their weakness. This approach emphasizes working with diverse faculty not just within the department but in other disciplines at the university. Classes in philosophy, feminist theory, music and architecture are avenues of possible exploration in other departments to students that have an interest in integrating those issues into their work. The culmination of the program is a cohesive body of work that is displayed in the MFA Exhibition and written thesis that addresses the work and process.
