Anyone ever take a photography course at college?

Ballistics I would make sure that your photography class actually counts as a humanities class. I was excited because I saw the digital photograpy class listed under art, which was under humanities. However I soon realized that even though that photography class fell under art/humanities, it did not qualify as a humanities class that they would give you credit for in any curriculum. If it didn't have a "H" by the class title, then it didn't qualify as a humanities class. So, I'm stuck with Spanish next semester.

I hope that your college is different. I was so upset when I realized that the photography class didn't qualify as a humanities course in my curriculum. This is my last prereq before I enter the nursing program. Being able to take a class in something I actually enjoy would have been great. Good luck in school.

Yeah they gave me the list of classes to pick from in my degree plan and there was only drawing, digital photography, art history, or a language.

I really would like to take a Photoshop class, I am amazed at what people can do in photoshop yet all i do with it is clean up backgrounds and resize and sharpen and clone. And i know there is sooooo much more i could do.

Youtube is pretty fantastic for learning about photoshop. There is a bunch of stuff I have learned from there. But if you are serious about taking a photoshop class, go to your local college and pick one up.

For instance places like Tyler. Corcoran, Pratt, Moore, UA, etc... assume you already know how to use a camera as you have to submit a portfolio for admission. (I'm not familiar with PNCA admissions)

PNCA assumes the same, in the admissions process there's a portfolio review. However it's pretty easy, so long as you can talk about how you made the images, you're fine. It's not going to be that difficult considering how many students are essentially straight out of high school, and the vast majority of high school students are not critically thinking about their surroundings and trying to make profound (in one way or another) work about it.
