We maintain state-of-the-art labs, which integrate video, photography, and multimedia in a readily available and accessible way. We have no hesitancy about these post-revolutionary times, and feel the current technology has only added to the possibilities of our creativity. The students of MFA Photography, Video & Related Media are given not only the tools and the skills necessary to negotiate the new patterns of creativity and communication, but also the inspiration and the discipline to create meaningfully.
