About This Program
The Photography minor provides experience with digital, film, and alternative photographic processes. You learn the principles of design and composition and are introduced to theory and issues in visual communication and study the history of photography and visual communication.
A minor shows potential employers that you put in extra effort and have a range of strong interest areas. Furthermore, a minor can cultivate new skills and encourage you to think in ways that may seem unconventional in your major field. Unconventional thinking can lead to creative problem solving.
