Photography - Purdue University - Main Campus

Photography from Purdue University - Main Campus is a Campus Bachelor Photography degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The photography program is design to encourage critical thinking and to expose students to the theoretical as well as technical practices of photography, in both the historical and contemporary spheres. The faculty is strongly committed to helping students find a working balance between the aesthetic, theoretical and politicial aspects of photography , along with the, at time, rigorous technical expertise required to realized these goals. A Socratic model - one which nurtures an open critical debate between students and instructors, and which allows for challenges and discovery - is ideally suited to the classroom critique as a forum in which to investigate new ideas.
