About the minor
The Minor in Photography for Non-Art Majors provides students with hands-on experience in digital photography. Through this program, students will build foundational skills in photographic techniques, visual storytelling, and image editing. The minor blends creative and technical training, allowing students to explore photography both as an art form and as a tool for communication across various media platforms.
With a minor in photography, students can pursue career paths in creative industries such as media, marketing, journalism, and visual arts. This minor also supports freelance opportunities in portrait, event, and commercial photography, while enhancing roles that involve visual storytelling or digital content creation.
