Fine Art Photography
Associate in Arts
Program Details
The Fine Art Photography AA is an interdisciplinary studio art degree with an emphasis in photography. The studio courses mirror coursework that would be completed in the first two years of a Bachelor of Fine Arts program and prepares students for a professional career in art and photography. It is a demanding, high-credit degree program that emphasizes both photographic and fine art studio practices. Additional program requirements in Art History and a capstone portfolio course provide the visual language and photographic portfolio students will need to enter the photographic and fine art industry, or progress academically into a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program.
