The photography program is designed to teach entry-level skills for careers in the photographic industry. Students interested in photography as visual expression or an adjunct to a vocation will also benefit.
Flexibility of the advanced program allows a student to concentrate upon a specific photographic career area.
Students planning to prepare for a four-year degree in Photography should consult the lower division requirements of the university to which they plan to transfer.
Some Career Opportunities may require more than two years of college study. Classes beyond the associate degree may be required to fulfill some Career Opportunities or for preparation for transfer to a university program.
Note to Transfer Students:
If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university
to pursue a bachelor’s degree in this major, it is critical that you meet
with a CRC counselor to select and plan the courses for your major.
Schools vary widely in terms of the required preparation. The courses
that CRC requires for an associate’s degree in this major may be
different from the requirements needed for the bachelor’s degree.
