An inside look at the Photography degree program

Our Associate of Applied Business degree in Photography prepares students for positions in professional photography with the ability to become a successful businessperson and highly valued employee. If you aspire to become a professional photographer, but are not able to take classes during the daytime, no worries! Our Photography program offers evening classes that  can accommodate students who work during the day. While earning an Associate degree in Photography, our program offers a high level of technical training and an understanding of the unique contribution that photography makes to the American culture. In addition, the program recognizes that professional photographers often operate private businesses, which requires knowledge of business and management practices.

Your associate degree in photography will be useful, as long as people continue to have weddings, children and families. By creatively using lighting, lenses, film, filters and camera settings, photographers and camera operators produce pictures that record an important event, capture a mood or tell a story. Photography increasingly involves the use of computer technology, using digital cameras with electronic memory rather than film to record an image. Employment opportunities inside and outside of Ohio are expected to increase throughout the next decade, and those with a photography degree are most likely to succeed.
