Major in Photojournalism
Become a photojournalist • Learn to tell stories through photos • Change the world

Use your photography to tell important stories
In our visual society, images have the power to convey information and emotion that words sometimes cannot capture. In the photojournalism program, you will combine technical expertise in photography with training in journalism to capture the human side of news and tell the stories of your community.
