Degrees at the University of New Mexico

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program complete more art studio and art history courses than students in the Bachelor of Arts program. However, both programs cover many of the same topics. This school's photography facilities give students access to various types of cameras, computers, printers, scanners and film processors.

Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Studio with a Concentration in Photography

Students enrolled in an art studio program can expect to complete courses in art history, modern art, art practices and contemporary studies. In photography concentration courses, students learn about visualizing ideas using photography, digital imaging techniques, black and white photography, non-silver photographic processes and color techniques. Many of the art studio classes provide students with hands-on training to develop technical and creative skills.

Master of Fine Arts in Art Studio with a Concentration in Photography

Students who want to study art at the graduate level can enroll in either an art history or an art studio degree program at this school. The master's degree program with an art studio emphasis allows students to focus extensively on a particular artistic medium, such as photography. Admission to the program is selective, as all graduate students are given their own studio and darkroom spaces, and the number of spaces available is limited.

It's important to note that some studio photography courses overlap with undergraduate studio courses. Graduate students are required to submit their work for a showcase that's open to faculty, students and the public; they're also expected to pass a comprehensive exam.
