Photography is as widespread as language itself and is used for many diverse purposes. Photographs can be both specific and abstract, personal and universal, factual and metaphorical. Photography transforms our awareness and extends our vision, providing us with countless ways to explore, understand and share.

The student of photography learns to see and to communicate through the visual language of photography. The extraordinary flexibility of the medium lends itself to widely different approaches and points of view. We believe it is important to experience this diversity. Students may pursue artistic, commercial, journalistic or scientific applications. Our primary concern, however, is with creative photography. We define this as image making that reflects personal involvement, technical skill and visual intelligence. We are concerned with how images are understood, how we look at photographs and how they affect us, as well as how to make them.
