Is there any bachelor degree in photography or cinematography? - NewatTESU - 07-17-2024
Is any one aware of any photography or cinematography degree available? I will do my research, however checking if anyone already in the same field or doing it.

Full Sail might have something. They are not RA though so beware of that if there are grad school plans.

Yes, there are bachelor's degrees in photography and cinematography available. Full Sail and SNHU offer programs worth checking out.

TESU offers a BA in Photography, and it appears to accept cinematography courses. Almost all the major would have to be transferred in (or pursued through fairly expensive, time-consuming, and risky that they'd be denied prior learning assessment portfolios), as TESU offers hardly any courses in the major. It looks like TESU's program is mainly intended to serve military photographers with credit for military training.
Liberty offers an online BS in Digital Design with concentration in Photographic Design.

@NewatTESU, there are a few mentioned, your gen ed and electives should be complete and you would just need the 'major' classes remaining. Check and see if you can complete the max transfer to SNHU, another option is complete classes at a NA institution with a cheaper tuition into TESU or something like that if there aren't any ACE/NCCRS credits available...

photography and cinematography seem like something you should learn by doing, experimenting and practicing -- not by spending $10 000 on a degree
you can learn lots just from books and web courses

my 2 cents, but if you have to take out a loan for this then you're wasting money
and even if you don't take out a loan you're probably wasting money
and time
if you're going to spend money and time on a degree make sure its got a good ROI -- unless you're super rich and don't need to worry about ROI
