BS in Communication/Journalism, Appalachian State University. Went ot FSU for a bit but I had a desire to be in the mountains. After a few years toxiifying myself I've put myself back in school to pursue something I love, photography. I go to Randolph Community College, often ranked 3rd for photo behinde RIT and Brooks. 14,000 sq ft of studio space 200 ft of cyc wall, etc, etc yadda yadda. We have 4 different areas of photo study here, Commercial, Photojourn, Portrait, and Biomed. A lot of the kids here go to work for the studios shooting for the furniture industry here. Best part of the school is the price. Worst part is the location, dry county, extremely conservative christian community. I eventually want to get my MFA in photography, when I can afford it, bleagh.
going to be a sophomore at the Carrol School of Management at Boston College if I can get my act together before I leave for school...
had some personal troubles last semester and took a leave...
hopefully I can get back without losing a semester...
looks pretty good tho...
I am going to get a degree in management (just like everyone else in CSOM) and i believe my concentration will be in IT and maybe possibly IS as well...
.... I eventually want to get my MFA in photography, when I can afford it, bleagh.
I have to wonder why you want an MFA? If you're going to be an artist (pink in air) then you don't need the degree. Or do you want to teach or something?

Actually, I would like one day to teach photography. I'd like to do something fun and technical. Beginning with technical aspects dealing with motion blur, depth of field etc... artistic composition, narrative qualities etc... But I really want an MFA b/c I enjoy learning and seeing student work (to me it is often more powerful than pro work, just for the raw edge to it). My current endeavor outside of my own photography is working trades for prints with my classmates. Today was portfolio review for the summer, WOW!!!

Speaking as an artist, a lot of artists move on to graduate school not so much because they need the degree, but rather because they want to continue developing their own work.
If you enter into an intensive undergraduate studio program, usually by the time you graduate you feel like you have just begun to better understand your work, and take it further. A lot of people I know have moved on to graduate school to take that next step with their work. If you go to the right school, this is precisely what happens.
It's not always about need...
It's all about personal ambition and the desire to take your work further. This is precisely why I will most likely pursue my master's after I recover from the investment in my undergraduate education. My undergraduate studies were completed at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and at Tufts University.

Carleton University in Ottawa (English). It has a bad reputation but is actually a good school.
York University in Toronto (still English). The school of broken dreams. It sucked the life out of me in less than two months.
Still a few credits shy of a thoroughly useless degree!

Wow....I'm getting all nostalgic now. I used to go over the suspension bridge every day to cut across the Arts Quad on my way to Olin Hall.
