Best College and Major for Photography?

~Deariest Jun 20, 2012

Recently I have been looking around and have seen SO many colleges that offer various majors that deal with photography. I have no idea what to look for in a college of this sort, let alone the best major or major and minor combination is (in terms of fun and simplicity in finding a job.)

The majors and major w/ minor combinations are listed below. Please help?

Major: Photography

Major: Commercial Photography

Major: Advertising

Major: Advertising & Minor: Photography

or

Major: Advertising & Minor: Commercial Photography

When it comes down to the college, I am looking for something that won't absolutely kill the bank, as well as great programs/teachers/education for these things.

Please help me choose?

(P.s. I have relatives living in Seattle and Utah at the moment, so if there is a college near there I could just live with them as I attend in order to save money on housing and such!)

Thanks so much!

No jobs in photography are easy to get. If you pursue a career in photography it is because you LOVE photography. Expect every road to be challenging.

Before being able to make any recommendations I'd have to know a bit about you. What sort of photography do you enjoy doing the most? What sort of photography inspires you the most? Do you prefer high paced high energy or slow and creative? Do you enjoy business and selling? Do you enjoy drawing and design? Do you prefer to manage or be managed? How well do you handle tight deadlines? How are you with ridiculous deadlines? If everything goes perfectly which successful photography now represents where you would like to be down the road?
