Print Media and Photography - Minor

The Print Media and Photography minor provides an introduction to printmaking and fine art photography. Students can pursue a study in traditional printmaking techniques such as intaglio, silkscreen and lithography, as well as digital applications. Students can also pursue a study in photography, including traditional darkroom and film alternative photographic techniques and fine art digital photography. Synergies between these two historically related disciplines provide ample room for experimentation and a course of study designed specifically to suit students' interests.
