Students working in photography classroom

See the world through a new lens

Learn to tell stories, connect, express, and communicate your point of view with courses in digital and analog photography.

Discover creative ways to solve visual and conceptual problems through photography. You'll have the opportunity to develop your eye as an artist, a documentarian, or a photojournalist, and cultivate the technical skills you'll need to produce outstanding work. Nearby museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as our own Trustman Art Gallery, offer stimulating photography exhibits set in a vibrant artistic community.

Our students achieve successful careers ranging from fine arts, museum, and gallery work to communications fields including design, arts administration, and publishing. At Simmons, you'll nurture your creative intuition, build new skills in digital and analog image-making, and foster the confidence to share your vision with the world.
