Bachelor of Arts - Studio Arts - Photography

Learn both darkroom and digital techniques in a program that integrates historical study and hands-on practice. Students will explore specific genres, such as portraiture, documentary, and experimental photography, while acquiring technical skills such as printing and Photoshop. Avid photographers may design their own advanced projects.

Students with a concentration in photography may enter into such fields as education, art therapy, photography, graphic design, and corporate editorial administration.

The Simon’s Rock program in photography focuses on developing the critical and analytical skills, visual curiosity, visual literacy, and technical knowledge of each student. The curriculum is designed to foster independent, self-generated work in each course, whether it be a core studio course, an advanced course or a Senior Thesis project. Students interested in this concentration should have successfully completed and/or be enrolled in the core foundation courses necessary for each of the disciplines within the studio art concentration (See Studio Arts Requirements above.)
