Photography (Minor)

Overview

The successful photographer needs to develop personal qualities in three important areas: conceptual/technical strength; a liberal arts "world view"; and a self-assured creative problem-solving ability. The photography minor program addresses all three issues, stressing both the practical and the theoretical. The photography courses are designed and offered in a logical sequence to build the strongest conceptual and technical photographic skills. The emphasis on liberal arts at USAO is an emphasis on communication, and the photography program is devoted to aesthetic visual communication.
