使命宣言

Our Mission is to provide students a quality photographic education in the area of technique, 美学, 创意与内容, 以及摄影的历史和当代趋势.

我们努力提供商业, 美术专业的学生, 获得最先进的设备和技术, and to instill a strong sense of photographic history as well as grounding in current photographic theory. Digital and traditional approaches to the medium are explored as both represent the historic and current trends in the industry.  We believe the many aspects of fine art photography inform and improve commercial work and vice versa; this multi-disciplinary philosophy underlies most of our curriculum.

摄影 has gone through significant technological changes since the development of electronic imaging.  摄影 education in the 21st century must maintain relevance to meet the needs of contemporary students.  摄影 instructors have an opportunity to create a dynamic new paradigm that blends the full spectrum of the photographic experience.

项目描述

Butte College�s 摄影 Program offers two areas of training for students interested in a career in photography: a major in Commercial 摄影 and a major in Fine Art 摄影. Courses in digital and traditional photography provide a strong foundation for either career path.

While commercial photography classes� offer an emphasis in technique to enable students to create images to professional standards, 美术课程提供材料操作方面的指导, 创造性表达, development of a personal esthetic and presentation in order to allow photographers to create a strong personal response to personal issues as well as those in the world around them.

However, we strongly encourage students to participate in both venues; since artists can benefit 
from strength in technique and a strong personal esthetic can give a commercial photographer the 
Edge需要在他们选择的职业中取得成功. 这两个领域的独特融合 
摄影专业知识，通常与教育分开，是该计划的原因之一 
recognized by the community at large as one of the strongest and most diversified photography 
北加州的部门.

Our courses are taught by experienced instructors with years of expertise and knowledge in both the commercial and fine art avenues of photography.  在我们多样化的课程中继续提供优秀的教学, 我们的项目最近增加了两名新的副教员.

我们的课程设置如下:

摄影学士学位——60学分
本专业共有26个单元.
Changes: The required units for the AS Degree in 摄影 have been changed from 46 units to 26 units.  12 out of the 26 units are core classes (family of classes) with 14 additional units from other required courses for the major.  单位负荷的变化将允许学生在一年内完成该专业.

Butte College photography classes also serve the rest of the college community since they are

服务项目具有代表性. 许多学生都回来告诉我们，一个整体 
knowledge of photography was the skill that caused an employer to choose them over another 
申请人在其他方面同样适合该职位.


	

学生学习/行政单位成果

学生成就标准/目标(教学部)

The 摄影 program has been struggling since the FT faculty member in the program retired ten years ago. 这个项目稳定地维持了好几年, 但自2016年以来, 它的注册人数一直未能增长, 学生的成功率也受到了影响. 在前任主席退休前的任期内, 主席试图改变该计划的某些方面, but the courses that were added and deleted were not fulfulling the needs of the students. 营火期间, 这个项目受到了打击, but the pandemic hit it hardest when the classes were sent to remote and online-only instruction. 我们有几位教师停止了教学, 在过去的几个学期里，我们不得不聘请新的教师来教学. We need full-time oversite, similar to other struggling programs without full-time faculty.
