Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography

The traditions of photography and its method of representation embrace ideas that extend far beyond the frame of the picture. Throughout its history photography has been used to illustrate, advertise, and communicate these ideas and images to a universal audience. At Stritch we believe that it is important that the photographer be prepared to understand the social and artistic impact which their photographs will have on the viewer. Our program will provide you with skills in both traditional photography and digital media production. You will be prepared to begin a career in photography through hands-on course work and internship experiences that will connect you with the professional photography community.
