Overview

Key Facts

Capturing moments, events, personalities and telling stories through pictures prepare students for a career in photojournalism. But it's not just photography; our students also try their hands at multimedia. Students shoot and edit video and audio pieces that are published in the Daily Egyptian, SIU's student-run newspaper. Students also work with nationally acclaimed photographs during weekend workshops. These workshops offer experiential leaning.
