Storytelling is one of the oldest and most respected of human endeavors-- what we know of ourselves and others comes through the stories we tell. Visual storytelling allows us to communicate in ways which cannot be conveyed through other media.
In this degree program you will be introduced to the craft, politics and philosophy of such storytelling.
Whether you seek to be a journalist, work in creative advertising or practice as a fine artist, a command of storytelling is fundamental to success in these areas.
