Welcome to Interdisciplinary Art/Photography Concentration
Photography is another aspect of the Art Program at UDC. The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program is based on the premise that a solid foundation in technical skills and the development of aesthetic awareness will help the photographer develop a personal creative style with the camera. The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program provides students with marketable skills, increases awareness of the history of photography and visual culture, exposes students to both commercial and artistic applications of photography, inspires collaboration among student photographers, and serves as an artistic resource for the community.
The Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program prepares students for work as exhibiting fine art photographers, commercial photographers, photojournalists, teaching and photography instructors, and as artists working with government agencies that utilize and promote photography.
Members of the Interdisciplinary Art/Photography program faculty have participated in extensive local, national, and international gallery exhibits. Faculty members also have wide experience in commercial photography. The Interdisciplinary Art Program also manages Gallery 42, a non-profit art gallery for exhibitions of both professional and student artwork and photography.
The art teacher education program is accredited by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification.
