Proposal: Photography, A.A.S. degree
The technology and photographic industry has changed over the past five years to make digital
photography the standard. This proposal used the survey of industry completed during the past
year’s program review of photographic imaging program for all course work proposed. Updating
the technology has been addressed over the past few years with grants and department budgets.
On the Eastern Campus, two other digital applied arts programs – computer art and graphic
design – will share the state-of-the-art classroom computer rooms with digital photography.
Another issue has also made it necessary to make this change. The Eastern Campus is located in
the Long Island Pine Barrens. Environmental issues have been a constant concern with
maintaining a “wet” chemical photography studio. Recent events in the water system of the
campus necessitate this proposal.
We would also like to propose a course number system to take advantage of the new six digital
system. All digital photography courses would remain in the Visual Arts numbering system
(ART).

NAME OF CURRICULUM TO BE REVISED: Photographic Imaging
NAME OF DEPARTMENT/CAMPUS REPSONSIBLE FOR ADMINISTERING
REVISED CURRICULUM: Visual Arts
I.
CURRICULUM TITLE/DEGREE
Is the title or the degree of the curriculum changing? If so, provide current title and proposed
title. Give a rationale for the change. (Please note that all new titles and degrees must be
approved by SUNY and registered by NYSED before they can be implemented.)
II.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION/PROGRAM SUMMARY
Is the catalog description for the curriculum changing? If so, provide new description, show
how it has changed, and provide rationale for change.
Rationale for changing the catalog description is due to updating the program
emphasis from a film-based photography program to a digital-based
photography program.
Description:
The A.A.S. degree curriculum provides in-depth study of professional
photographic practices anchored by a two-year sequence in digital
photography. Course work includes photographic techniques specific to both
location
and
studio
photography
that
introduce
students
to
portraiture/people, commercial, photojournalism and fine art photography.
Throughout the program emphasis is placed on individual creative growth
that concludes with a capstone course in portfolio preparation. A combination
of general education, visual art, and career preparation courses are designed
to train and qualify graduates for entry-level positions in the field of
professional photography.
Students entering the program must own or purchase a digital SLR camera
with a resolution of 6MB or greater. Throughout the program students will be
required to purchase supplies such as memory cards, storage drives, CD-Rs,
DVDs, and photo quality ink jet paper.
III.
LOCATION/MODE OF DELIVERY
Is the location and/or the mode of delivery for the curriculum changing? If so, provide details
of change and a rationale for the change. What percentage of courses in this curriculum
(required or elective) will be available to students through a distance education modality?
No change.
IV.
EDUCATIONAL/CAREER OBJECTIVES
Will there be any changes in the proposed program’s educational/career objectives? If so,
provide new objectives, show how they have changed, and provide rationale for change.
Demonstrate the relationship of new/revised objectives to the mission of the institution.
No change.
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY
Revised 9/2006
Curriculum-Revision Proposal Form, Pg. 8
V.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT
A.
Identify existing or projected programs at the college in the same or
related disciplines and the anticipated impact of the proposed program
on them.
None.
B.
Indicate whether this program replaces any existing program(s).
Replaces the existing Photographic Imaging curriculum.
C.
Indicate whether the proposed curriculum is primarily a restructuring
of existing courses and resources.
Seven existing courses will be replaced with courses that emphasize
digital photography.
Resources will change. The Eastern Campus, located in the Long Island
Pine Barrens, will no longer offer courses in a “wet” chemistry
environment. Environmental issues at the campus’s water treatment
facility have been a constant concern in maintaining the “wet” lab.
Both campuses are prepared for the introduction of digital
photography and the impact on the computer technology.
VI.
LEARNING OUTCOMES & ASSESSMENT
Are the programmatic goals and objectives for the program changing? If so,
list the learning outcomes students should demonstrate upon completing the
program, show how they have changed, and provide rationale for change.
Changes to the program’s goals and objectives are only due to the
technology change from silver-based photography as the main tool to digital
photography. The areas of change are crossed-out below with the replacing
words directly after that section.
1. demostrate the use of a digital SLR camera including how to:
a) insert appropriate recording media
b) select and attach a lens appropriate to the shooting situation
c) select and attach an appropriate filter to the lens, when needed
d) precisely focus the lens
e) select an aperture appropriate to the shooting situation
f) select a shutter speed appropriate to the shooting situation
g) use artificial lighting: either tungsten lights or electronic flash to
correctly illuminate the shooting situation
h) use a combination of both natural and artificial light (such as fill-flash)
to correctly illuminate the shooting situation
i) precisely expose the recording media to the correct amount of light
ALL FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY
Revised 9/2006
Curriculum-Revision Proposal Form, Pg. 9
2. demostrate the use of medium and large format cameras and be able to

calotype, collodian, gelatin silver print, and digital
c) major photographers and their contributions
d) major movements, styles, and trends
5. apply photographic composition including:
a) Line, Form, Space, Color, Texture, Unity, Harmony, Balance, Rhythm,
and Proportion)
b) use digital photographic skills in the creation of aesthetic qualities in
her/his photographs.
