The BFA is a professional degree with concentrated areas of specialization, so students will take more art courses than they would in a BA program. At UMass Dartmouth, students also have the advantages of a university education where they can diversify their studies and expand their career opportunities.

Studies will include:

  • black & white darkroom photography
  • color digital imaging & printing
  • large format photography
  • studio lighting
  • video
  • the history of photography
  • contemporary practice

Your work will culminate in a gallery exhibition and a portfolio that demonstrates your individual style, technical proficiency, and aesthetic sophistication.
