Core classes provide a foundation for competency in multiple areas, including still black and white and color photography, video, digital imaging, studio applications?and photography history. You'll investigate the role of photography, video?and computer-generated images in today's society. A central theme is to increase awareness of visual images and the many different messages they encode.

Students engage in experiential learning with hands-on projects and lab work. Professional training and visual literacy are important for students who pursue careers in the field. In order to best prepare students to work in a professional capacity, the Photocommunications program begins students with traditional imaging in order to help them master film-based photography in a wet darkroom. When competency in this area is achieved, then students can learn digital imaging. Students will learn the conceptual and technical skills needed to succeed.
