Photo major

<p>Anybody know of good photography schools besides for the big names
like RIT? Looking for a program at a state school tuition rate in the
Northeast-NY, PA, MD, NJ, DE, VA., and a school that look for good,
but not great grades/sat's-ex. 3.4 gp.-1130 SAT. What about job
prospects for those with a photography major, and what types
of university photo prorgrams lead to jobs-advertising photography?</p>

<p>It would be great if you told us what state you are in. I can tell you that Towson University has a photography major. Mass Art probably has a photography program too. However, the best rated programs are NOT state universities. They are School of Art institute in Chicago, RISD, RIT, etc.</p>

<p>We are from PA. Looking for an affordable school. 40K v 15-18K makes
a big difference in our lives.</p>

<p>Have you checked Penn state? I can't imagine that Penn State on some of its campuses doesn't have a Photography program.</p>

<p>I will tell you that both Mass Art and Univ of Mass at Dartmouth have strong art curriculum and very cheap tuitioin for out of state students. I don't know if UMass has photography though.</p>

<p>the place would be u. of delaware - perfect for that. your stats would have to be boosted by a very strong portfolio, however.</p>
