Instructions for calculating an estimate of a student's 2017-18 Cost of Attendance (COA): These estimated figures reflect 2017-18 tuition and fee expenses for a student attending the Fall 2017 and Spring 2018 academic year. The following figures are provided as average estimated costs, are provided based on the SAIC student population, and may differ from your actual estimated costs for:

room and board (off-campus)

transportation

personal expenses

Students should adjust the provided average estimated costs figures to reflect their actual individualized costs such as the room and board estimate if living in the Residence Halls or the transportation cost if traveling distances that are more costly than the average figure provided. Note: Except for tuition and mandatory fees, these are estimated averages that you should adjust to your own specific budget. Please keep in mind that tuition and expense estimates will likely increase each academic year.

Special note to international students: This amount plus health insurance is the amount you must enter on the financial aid statement and show proof of support of the Fall 2017-Spring 2018 year (except MFA Low Residency-please see cost and notes below). SAIC cannot issue an I-20 form until a Statement of Financial Support form and support documentation is submitted for review and approved. USCIS regulations require international students to be enrolled full-time in order to maintain their F-1 immigration status. See Maintaining Legal F-1 Status for further details.
*U-Pass-Full-Time Status Required **Health Insurance Requirement
Mandatory Health Insurance Coverage -SAIC Health Insurance coverage is mandatory for all full-time domestic undergraduate, graduate, exchange, and certificate students and all international students and is charged automatically to the student's tuition and fees account each fall and spring semester.

-If, however, students have comparable health insurance coverage with another provider, they may submit a request to waive SAIC's Health Insurance annually (online only) no later than the first day of classes. Health Insurance waiver requests are reviewed for approval. Complete details on the waiver process, please go to the Waiving SAIC's Health Insurance SFS Health Insurance webpage.

For more information about the health insurance requirement and eligibility to be approved for a waiver, please refer to the Health Services section of the website.

My career/academic goal is to graduate high school, and major in photography at either, SAIC, FSU, or UCF. I plan to minor in cinematography and journalism. If I cannot pay for college, I plan to join the military as a photo journalist and use the benefits to get through college. Once I finish, I plan on being a full time wedding photographer.

The School of Visual Arts and Design affirms that a theoretical and working understanding of the historical meanings and studio applications of the human image are critical in the education of Visual Art and Art History students.

The FSU Photography program focuses on the development of individual vision where the student can explore the contemporary uses, techniques, and theories of photography. The photography curriculum offers coursework examining both traditional and digital skills, while stressing an understanding of the histories and theories of the media. The photography area is perfectly positioned in a larger, highly interdisciplinary department where students are encouraged to see how their photographic explorations can build on the skills learned in other courses. Students pursuing a BA/BFA or a graduate-level MFA often merge their photography with other media such as printmaking, sculpture, digital media, video, or painting. This interdisciplinary focus mimics both the commercial applications of the media as well as its role in the large art world.

The intentionally small size of each of our courses fosters an atmosphere for technical and critical experimentation, allowing faculty to provide group and individualized instruction to students actively engaged in the dialogue of photography. In doing so, students are encouraged to pursue projects of their own content within the context of the larger contemporary art dialogues, understanding their own practice not only in relation to other photographers, but to artists and makers in other fields as well.

In the Photography area, students can choose a Photography focus, or a focus on Photographic and Artists' Books.

Recent graduates have pursued careers in commercial photography, photography archive management, photo editing and design, or pursued additional graduate studies at some of the finest graduate programs in the United States.

Facilities & Special Equipment

Facilities include an 11 station digital photography lab, where each Macintosh computer station is outfitted with Epson flatbed/ transparency scanners and inkjet printers. Advanced students have additional access to large format Epson digital printers and an Imacon film scanner. The program also has a 15 station traditional darkroom space with 4×5 enlargers, areas for nonsilver and mural printing processes, and a Risograph Printer/Duplicator. The Photography area hosts a large selection of equipment for checkout: from beginner film cameras to video and advanced lighting equipment. Advanced students have access to the LightBox, a fully equipped lighting studio for image creation or artwork documentation. As an additional resource, the Photography program is active in building a large collection of contemporary photography books in the General and Special Collections of the University library.

The facilities also include printing services for art majors needing large format prints.
