The Visual Arts and New Media: Photography, B.F.A. degree is designed to give students a thorough knowledge of the medium, including historical and aesthetic concerns, as well as experience with conventional, experimental and digital photography. The program relates to all the other areas in the department by emphasizing inter-media applications through the combination of photographic images or electronic output with the traditional materials associated with drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics to encourage communication and understanding across the disciplines. The intent is to conceptualize ideas by using the medium of photography and related practices.
