What will I learn?

Our program is the leading professional undergraduate/graduate fine art photography program in Tennessee and the seven surrounding Mid-American states. With the region's largest photography faculty - consisting of three full-time nationally known photographers, several part-time professional teachers, and a full-time experienced photo technician - our students receive individual attention and in-depth instruction. Our well-equipped facilities include separate black & white labs, color print lab, alternative process lab, electronic arts lab, and studio lighting facilities. Students in our photography program have a spirit of togetherness, which creates a positive, friendly place to study. Their active student group, the Photographic Society, plans activities that include a yearly lecture series of internationally known photographers, travel, field trips, special workshops, group exhibitions, and parties. These events provide opportunities to make connections with leading photographers.
