The BFA Photography program at UIUC equips visual storytellers with technical mastery and critical literacy. Darkroom craft meets drone cinematography; archival research meets Instagram activism. Students print on bioplastic substrates, code AI image classifiers, and publish photobooks in the Edible Book Festival. Situated between Chicago’s galleries and the prairie’s horizon, graduates launch photojournalism, fine-art, and AR-media careers capturing truths that move audiences.
