Justification for new course or course revision or renumbering:
The BFA degree in photography requires 30 semester hours in the concentration. Two
additional courses in the area of photography are necessary to complete the 30 semester
hours of required photography courses. ART 3270: Color Photography will be one of these
two additional required courses within the photography concentration. The needs of the
photography students were assessed and it was determined that the course content of
Problems in Photography is consistent with the current direction of the profession. These
needs were established after discussion with professional colleagues from similar programs
at national and regional Society of Photographic Education conferences (photography
education’s professional organization). The course has been offered as special topics class
in fall 2006. The class is fully enrolled and well received by BFA photography majors.
