• Students working toward a two-year associate degree at Santa Fe College can major in visual arts. The visual arts department offers a variety of courses in photography, including classes on darkroom processes, digital photography, portraiture and the history of photography. With the help of faculty, visual arts majors can prepare portfolios of their work to use in applications to photography programs at four-year institutions. The visual arts department offers a course in portfolio development designed for this purpose.
