Program Overview
Endicott’s B.S. in Photography program provides students with the aesthetic, technical, and practical skills necessary to succeed in a variety of genres within and beyond commercial photography, such as documentary, photojournalism, fashion, sports, commercial, and portrait photography.
The majority of professional photographers are sole proprietors, and with an emphasis on business and marketing studies, you will be prepared for a freelance or entrepreneurial career as a sole proprietor, as well as for jobs throughout the creative industries and beyond.
Students earning their bachelors in photography gain relevant skills in marketing, business, copyright, image dissemination, and archiving that complement the studio portrait, commercial, advertising, and product imagery coursework. In addition to keeping abreast of the rapid, industry-standard changes in technology, this program emphasizes image production within the framework of marketing, media analysis, financial acumen, public relations, and entrepreneurship. Students are taught business practices specifically relevant to photographers, prepating them for professional practice upon graduation.
Through coursework and three robust and relevant internships, students gain the necessary understanding of business practices to thrive in the creative economy as a freelance photographer, entrepreneur, or employee or supervisor in a larger firm.
Laptop Requirements
In addition to the general laptop requirements, incoming photography students have specific requirements for their program.
Accreditation
The Bachelor of Science in Photography is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
