Academic Minor in Photography and Video

Introduction

The practice of still and moving image photography has converged, as evidenced in the capability of current generation DSLR cameras and nearly every cellphone to capture both still and video images. Regardless of the individual career path a student chooses, proficiency with the visual language of a full range of media is essential to succeed in an era of growing media options. UW-Stout's minor in Photography and Video emphasizes the digital aspect of photography and video to serve both on-campus students and the needs for continuing professional education.
