4 Digital Photography Certificate Programs in USA

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for careers in the photography industry.

The Photography curriculum is carefully designed to build fundamental technical skills in the operation of 35mm and medium-format cameras, using traditional and digital camera systems. In addition, all classes emphasize the importance of creativity and originality in image-making through a progressive series of conceptual assignments. Basics in digital imaging, editing and creative manipulations, digital printing and color management technologies are provided from entry-level classes and throughout the entire curriculum. The program develops the historic relevance of photography in art and multimedia as well as provides a foundation in creative digital processes that will integrate into the work place. Our digital classroom and darkroom facilities include state-of-the-art service bureau quality equipment and archival printers up to 44” wide to thoroughly prepare students for a variety of job opportunities in the work place. Nine new industry-specific short courses have been added as electives.

The Basic Photography curriculum is designed for the amateur or media professional interested in adding fundamental photography skills.

At Bennington, students work closely with faculty to design the content, structure, and sequence of their study and practice—their Plan—taking advantage of resources inside and outside the classroom to pursue their work.
