Where in the East Coast can I major/minor in photography?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm a 17 year old junior in high school. This summer I want to start looking at colleges to apply to, but am at a stand still. I have no idea what "exactly" what I want to do. Actually, I do know that I defiantly want to major or minor in photography. Also I would like to major in something else because I don't know if I could support myself by just doing event photography. </p>

<p>Are there any east coast universities or colleges that have good photography programs?
I'm from Connecticut, and want to travel far away, but my parents don't trust me.(New England, Mid-Atlantic,and possibly South) Also I am just an average student. I actually did quiet poorly on the SAT'S:
440 Reading
420 Math
470 Writing</p>

<p>Good call I was going to say the same. One of the best schools for those interested in photography.</p>

<p>Bard College</p>

<p>What about Rhode Island School of Design?</p>

6

<p>^ Isn’t that program exceedingly selective?</p>

<p>I recommend RIT too.</p>

7

<p>^ I was trying to avoid NYC design schools. I think RISD is very selective.</p>

<p>How about UArts? I’m not really familiar with the overall academic strength of the school, but I know they have photography as a major along with a lot of other fine arts-related majors. Philly really is an amazing city and it’d be a great place to find inspiration for your photography. Also, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is phenomenal and I’m sure it would also be an awesome resource for your studies. :)</p>

<p>Yes, I’ll check those all out on cb. I want to go to a college with a good arts program, and others. Going to an all arts school is very selective and doesn’t give much room for other major choices.</p>

<p>[-</a> King College Photo - 4 year degree including photo, video, web, media and design](<a href=“http://KingCollegePhoto.com%5D-”>http://KingCollegePhoto.com)</p>

<p>My daughter is going there right now after looking through all the east coast schools. It is a different kind of a 4 year program, but fit her very well.</p>

<p>Can you tell me more about King College? There is another school in the area, Virginia Intermont, which is also known for photography but it is in financial trouble.</p>
