Maybe you have an eye for detail.

You’re always pulling out your phone to document your surroundings. You’re dreaming of a career shooting events as they unfold or seeing your work on the cover of Vogue. 

If any of the above sounds like you, Photography might be your major. 

Moore’s unique Photography curriculum can be tailored to your interests—whether you want to create impactful visuals for commercial industries like fashion, journalism, weddings and special events, or you’re more of a fine arts photographer expressing yourself through experimental forms of photography—you’ll gain important industry experience working in analog and digital formats, with state-of-the-art equipment that the pros use. (Because you’ll be a pro.)
