The Curriculum
The academic year is divided into three terms, with an intersession in January. Each term, students register for a series of 10-week courses and weekend workshops. Course selection is determined in consultation with the Chair. Students should expect to spend 16 to 20 hours in the class-room weekly. Course requirements for the academic year include three terms of the General Studies Seminar, two terms of photographic history, two terms of black-and-white or color printing, and two terms of digital imaging techniques, as well as instruction in lighting and large-format photography. Students select additional 10-week courses and weekend workshops each term. These creative and technical offerings allow students to shape a sequence of instruction that will strengthen their skills and vision. The program also offers students the opportunity to participate in an internship with a photographer, agency, or magazine.
