It is often desirable for students of varied academic backgrounds to pursue a concentrated study of an art discipline outside of their major field. This widens the students' perspective, increases their professional and job-related opportunities, enhances qualifications for those planning to pursue a graduate degree, and satisfies other personal interests. Many students do this now but receive no formal recognition of their work. This minor program encompasses a range of photo-related media, emphasizes learning through community engagement and photographic storytelling. It meets the needs of these students and recognizes their efforts and achievements.
