Most of these photography courses are for personal enrichment. They generally have fewer contact hours than semester-long classes and are geared towards the student who wants to learn more about photography, but doesn't want the rigors of a college-level class.
In addition, there are some photography courses listed below that are integrated with College Credit classes in Professional Photography and have a limited number of seats for the general public to enroll as a Continuing Education student. These classes offer the content, rigor, and experience of workforce instruction that prepares students for advanced classes in photography. Successful completion of these courses satisfy the prerequisites, and gain college credits toward the award plans in Professional Photography. If the course is integrated with a Professional Photography course, it will be noted on the schedule.
Note: Class information and syllabus can be found in Blackboard one week prior to class. An active ACC Email and eID are required to login.
