Photography Minor
For many students, photography starts as a passion – something you love to do, even if your major is leading you somewhere else. You might be a computer science student who loves visual storytelling, a biology major drawn to environmental photography, or a future journalist who wants stronger visual skills. At SU, you don’t have to choose between creativity and career goals.
The photography minor gives you the space to grow as a photographer while pursuing any major. You’ll develop your technical skills, artistic vision, and creative voice through hands-on courses that encourage experimentation, storytelling, and seeing the world with intention.
Why Choose Salisbury University?
The world is full of stories waiting to be framed. SU’s photography minor invites you to move beyond an introductory class and explore photography as a creative outlet you can grow with, reflect through, and carry alongside your major.
You’ll learn in an environment that values curiosity and expression, guided by professors who encourage you to experiment, take risks, and develop your own visual voice. Through projects connected to community, environment, and lived experience, you’ll discover how images can capture emotion, spark conversation, and shine a light on the world around you.
Created with non-art majors in mind, the photography minor fits naturally with fields like computer science, communication, environmental studies, journalism, marketing, and social sciences. Photography skills can suit any path where creativity and visual storytelling add depth and perspective. At SU, you don’t have to put your passion on the backburner. You can nurture it, refine it, and let it become part of how you understand the world and express who you are.
