Long post - Some of the courses offered at my local community college (KU and K State photo and art students often come here for photo classes), theres another long list of Photoshop and Graphic Design classes:

PHOT 121 - Fundamentals of Photography
This course provides an introduction to the tools, procedures, concepts and application of photographic imaging. Students will use cameras, light meters and darkroom equipment for film developing and printing to make images to meet the requirements of a series of assignments designed to develop specific skills, competencies and points of view and to stimulate the students' creative capacities for personal expression, communication and self-understanding. Students must provide their own camera with adjustable focus, shutter speeds and aperture. 6 hrs. lecture, lab/wk.

PHOT 122 - Advanced Photography
This course provides an introduction to advanced techniques, tools, procedures and concepts of photographic imaging, with an emphasis on black-and-white photography as a fine art. Students will use Zone System tests and procedures to produce prints of maximum quality. Students will use advanced techniques, such as split-developers for contrast control, multiple-imaging and archival processing, and print presentation. Several "alternative" printing processes will be discussed and demonstrated. This course also includes a basic introduction to medium format (2 1/4) and large format (4 x 5) camera equipment and technique. Students will apply the above to make images for a series of conceptually advanced, project/series-oriented assignments to stimulate the student's creative capacities for personal expression, communication and self-understanding. 6 hrs. lecture, lab/wk.

PHOT 123 - Studio Photography
This course provides an introduction to advanced techniques, tools, procedures and concepts of studio and commercial photography. Students will use professional camera and studio equipment, including studio electronic flash and hand-held light/flash meters. This course also includes an introduction to professional medium format (2 1/4) and large format (4"x5") equipment and advanced camera techniques for total image control. Students will use studio lighting for various portraiture styles and for small-product, table-top photography. Applications of digital photography as they apply to studio photographic processes will be introduced. Students will apply the above to make images for a series of advanced studio assignments. 6 hrs. lecture, lab/wk.

PHOT 128 - Digital Photography
This course is an introduction to the concepts, tools and technology of digital imaging for photographers. Students will develop competence in the use of digital photographic equipment, software, storage devices and printers to produce digital photographic images satisfying the requirements of a series of assignments designed to develop specific skills and competencies. Students will "capture," manipulate, correct, transmit, store and output images. They will use digital technology to produce images for commercial and/or artistic applications. Ethics and cultural implications of the technology will be discussed. 6 hrs. lecture, lab/wk.

ARTH 188 - History of Photography
This course provides an introduction to the history of photography. Students will examine the aesthetic and technological evolution of photography as an art form, as a visual tool for and influence upon other artistic disciplines, and as a statement of perceived reality. The course will examine the elements that distinguish various aesthetic movements, the styles of major periods and the influences of individual photographers. Attention will be paid to the relationship between photographic imagery and various cultural and historical contexts. Recommended prior course is PHOT 121. 3 hrs. lecture/wk.

JOUR 145 - Digital Photojournalism
This course is designed to meet the photographic imaging needs of journalism students. It provides a journalistic approach to the concepts and application of digital photography for multi-media. Students will use cameras, computers, software, scanners and image-output devices to master the issues, concepts, and constraints involved in creating imagers for a broad range of media. They will prepare and format digitized image files for storage and transmission, and print and Web-based reproduction. 6 hrs. integrated lecture lab/wk.
