In MFA Photography, Video & Related Media we believe that humanism lies in a search for enlightenment. The artist/creative interlocutor uncovers new ways of relating that reveal the richness that is embedded in the constant course of human culture. True creativity lies in the management of knowledge (image, text, sound) not in the production of given objects of art or tomes of discourse. Since its inception, this unique program has led the way in the implementation of digital technology to the photographic practice and in relating the photographic practice to the larger scope of cultural activity.
Emphasis is placed on critical standards based upon a full understanding of the history of photography, its relation to social and technological history, and an innate grounding in the practice of Fine Art. This program seeks to nurture a small and talented group of students so that they may harness their unique vision to make a positive impact on the cultural landscape of the future.
