Why Art Photography

There’s a place for everyone in the program - no matter what your goals!

In our program, you have the chance to learn both art photography/videography or learn commercial photography/videography.

You can work toward transferring to a four-year school or earn certificates for job preparation.

Our six certificates of achievement can prepare you for a new career or be used to accompany your major area of study.

And, our new six non-credit courses and certificates of completion are great for continuing education as they are free, repeatable, pass/no pass, skill building or job-enhancing certificates.

Support

Our faculty and staff - who work in the field themselves - provide students with significant mentoring. You’ll start with AP1A Foundations of Photography, have great access to faculty, and work in amazing, state of the art facilities.
