工作室艺术学士-美术（摄影）

通识教育课程使人们可以对过去，现在和未来有一种自我和艺术观。通识教育可以让艺术家广泛地了解和理解艺术家必须发挥作用的世界。在所有专业中，都必须具备出色的书面和口头交流能力以及扎实的哲学和道德判断力，以及文学，数学和社会科学方面的常识。一所通识教育课程可以培养批判性的阅读，研究和写作技能，从而在学术研究和创造性活动之间达到最佳平衡。
The photography concentration within the Department of Art and Art History encourages conceptual thinking, innovative ideas, and experimentation with the medium while providing students with a strong technical base. Students become technically proficient in digital photography, digital printing and scanning, medium and large format photography, studio lighting, and advanced darkroom techniques ranging from historical processes and color and black and white printing.<br><br>The Photography Concentration at LMU is rare in that students have access to the most recent innovations and tools of digital imaging while also having the opportunity to work in traditional darkrooms. Students leave the program with a solid portfolio of personal work and a full range of relevant technical skills. The lab consists of ten custom designed and refurbished individual darkrooms for black and white and color printing as well as a digital area with iMAC computers, multiple large format ink jet printers, and many high-end professional scanners. This set-up offers students greater flexibility and convenience while encouraging creativity and experimentation. Students working in the Burns Darkroom also enjoy the luxury and convenience of having 24 hour access to the labs.<br><br>A wide selection of medium and large format cameras available for use (including 4x5 cameras, Mamiya 7 cameras, Hasselblad cameras, a Seagull TTL camera, Digital SLR cameras, Mamiya RZ67 cameras and various special effects cameras) allows students to leave the program with a professional portfolio and the experience that comes from working with an extraordinary range of tools. Additionally, students have access to a selection of seamless backdrops, flash meters, hot lights, and three sets of high end studio strobes including a battery operated strobe kit for shooting on location.
