Our program emphasizes a conceptual fine art practice through the production of darkroom, digital, and hybrid work. Courses integrate socially situated projects with an understanding of both contemporary and historical visual culture by developing a vocabulary for effective communication within the photographic medium.
Students in Photography and Imaging (PI) are required to have a laptop computer for their coursework by the first week of class, beginning with ART 350 and ART 357 and for all subsequent 400 and 500 level courses in Photography and Imaging. Students are recommended to have a computer for ART 253. Visit uwm.edu/arts/apply/laptop/ for more information.
Students who major in Photography and Imaging are required to have access to cameras. Please contact the Art & Design Department Photography and Imaging Area office at 414-229-3874 for an updated list of courses and the required camera equipment.
Required Intermediate Courses and Required Advanced Courses must total 12 credits.
Students are reminded that admission to the Art & Design Program requires completion of the 36-credit Art-Intended requirements and that all First Year Program courses must be completed in the first 45 credits (usually in fall semester of sophomore year). Portfolio Review for students in Photography and Imaging is held in both the fall and spring semesters. Students must complete ART 253 and ART 350 to be eligible. Portfolio review guidelines are available from the area.
Students are reminded that enrollment into ART 552 requires acceptance into the Photography and Imaging program, completion of the 18-credit PI core requirements with a cumulative GPA of 2.67, and a B- or better in both ART 350 and ART 452.
Students are reminded that enrollment into Art 553 requires the completion of Art 552 with a B- or better.
To be admitted into Photography and Imaging, students must pass the PI Portfolio Review. To be eligible for consideration, students must complete ART 253 and ART 350 with a B- or better, a cumulative GPA of 2.67 for all PI courses taken, and admission to Art & Design.
Prior to consideration for admission in the Photography and Imaging program, students must receive a B- or better in ART 350, with a cumulative 2.67 GPA in all PI courses. Subsequent to admission in the PI program, students must receive a letter grade of B- or better in ART 452 and ART 552. Should they fail to do so, students must retake the course and receive a B- or better in order to continue in the program. Any student receiving a second grade of less than B- in any area-required courses would need to formally reapply to the PI program or be dropped from the program. Additionally, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.67 within all PI courses taken.
