PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGING / A.A.S. DEGREE
Eastern-Western
Hegis Code: 5007
Curriculum Code: 372-1
 

This curriculum combines an intensive fine art program with courses in the liberal arts and sciences to prepare students for entry-level positions in the field of photography. The students will learn how to use a camera as as tool to explore the visual world while producing photographs which reflect sensitivity, intelligence and technical expertise. After completing two foundation-level courses in black and white photography, students further develop their skills in studio photography or select a two-course sequence in advanced printing processes and large format photography or select two courses in digital imaging. Although career preparation is an important goal of this curriculum, it also provides a solid foundation in fine photography which can be transferred to many four-year colleges.
