Photography Minor Proficiency

As is the case for other studio art minors, the photography minor requires a minor proficiency. For non-Art majors the requirement is identical to the studio art minor. An Art major who has passed their proficiency into the major can double count that towards their Photography Minor. The reverse does not apply; a successful Photography Minor proficiency does not count as passing proficiency into any major.

Public Presentation

Public presentation is a requirement for the minor. Students are required to display a body of photographic work in some public forum including the OP Atrium space, the Student Research Conference, or elsewhere on campus (not, however, in the University Art Gallery).
