Resourcesavailabletostudents:
Design faculty awards scholarships to students in the School of Architecture. Photomedia
students are granted access to a fully-working dark room. Students are also given the chance to submit a portfolio for an opportunity to work with people at Hallmark in Kansas City.
Career Possibilities: Because photomedia was offered as a major for the first time last year, there are a limited number of KU graduate students with this degree. But according to Samantha Raines, Undergraduate Coordinator for Design, this degree gives students a variety of possible careers.
"It's a lot of what the student wants to do with that track," said Raines.
Some sample careers include photojournalism and video multimedia.
Additional opportunities:
Although they aren't required,
internships and study abroad
programs are offered. This
summer, photomedia students
have two study abroad options.
For students with an emphasis
on design, there is a program
in Italy, and for photography
students, there are programs
in the Netherlands, Germany
and Italy.
