Photography (MFA, MA)

The nurturing environment in which creative visual artists use the ever-expanding photographic medium characterizes Barry University’s photography programs. Emphasis is place upon creativity and originality, encouraging the students to develop portfolios possessing the same diversity and uniqueness as each of the artists creating them.

Individuals who have advanced skills in photography and who enjoy the challenge of stimulating creative and technical photographic activity should consider pursuing a graduate degree in photography from Barry University.
