The photography program offers two professionally oriented sequences: illustration photography and photojournalism. Admission to the photography program is based on acceptance of a portfolio of photography, graphics, and communications writing after completing GRA 217  and PHO 301 . Both the illustration photography and the photojournalism major tracks emphasize multimedia storytelling and production using still imaging, video and sound to produce final products for print and the web. Photographers work closely with graphic designers and students and faculty from other Newhouse majors. Students also study entrepreneurship, communications law and ethics, as well as develop communications writing and graphic design skills.

Illustration Photography

The sequence in illustration photography covers the areas of advertising, commercial, fashion, and magazine illustration photography for print and the Web.

Photojournalism

The sequence in photojournalism is designed for students interested in visual journalism both online and in print.
