Photography and media art have always had a direct and visible relationship to changing technology, cultural shifts, and industry roles. Courses in the Photography & Media Arts program at UTC are in place to respond to, capture, and stay current in a discipline that remains in constant conceptual and technological flux—ensuring an active place for interdisciplinary practice within the curriculum. The concentration in Photography & Media Arts is centered around creative imaging and time-based arts. With a strong foundation in photographic imaging and digital media, students at the upper division may choose to focus their individual interests in photography, video, sound, digital media, or explore various combinations and new media. Through these foci, students are exposed to a broad range of practices in topics courses.
