Anyone out there from Howard U and if so, what is the school's Art department like? (Specifically photography)I've been to the HU website but I want to know what the school is like from a students point of view. I'm looking to transfer and need some info.
Thanks!

Oh!I emailed the admissions department 2x's and haven't heard anything yet
any suggestions?

try calling the art department or look up an instructor in the department and email him/her directly. thats how i usually get my info.

Thanks, but I want student feedback. The school may sugarcoat what I want and need to know or they may just tell the truth. Since the students are the one's paying for the education, I want to know if they are getting their $$$'s worth, what they think of the department, etc..

I received my undergraduate degree form HU...in the film department. Quite frankly, I was jealous of the Fine Arts students who had access to the HOTTEST lab equipment.

Although, I minored in theater directing in FA I have studied photography off and on for more than 15 years. I started shooting 35 mm in highschool and that is what eventually lead me to a film production major along with my early acting experince. My best friend was a photo minor. I naturally had several friends in the Photo division. All I can say is you will get PLENTY of hands on training. Furthermore, the program is designed for a professional development.
And you better believe you will not be short changed on learning your history.

I LOVED HOWARD!!!!! You will see me at Homecoming singing..."I'm so glad I went to Howard U". THERE IS NOTHING LIKE AN HBCU EXPERIENCE...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Of course the Mecca is FIRST choice...and of course that is my BIASED opinion.
