Photography
Photography is a concentration within the Mass Communication major. In addition to your basic courses, you'll take a series of Creative Photo classes. Topics change from class to class, but normally approach photography from a creative or expressive point of view rather than from a practical point of view. Some examples of class titles are: Close-up; High Contrast; Multiple Images; Point of View; and Photo Montage. Other photo classes offered might be Documentary or Studio Photography.
