so im on the hunt for a college as a junior in ohio. i really feel that i want to do photography and find i have a nitch for graphics. obviously im not good at english tho lol. but i was wondering if anybody knows of any good schools that offer programs in both photo and graphical design. i plan on majoring in graphics because the job field is alot larger and would like my minor to be photo. 4 year school and needs to be cheaper. photography as a minor is more important to me then graphics as a major cause i could change my major or something just know i ablsolutely want to do photo. any helps good help

looked at crAKRON  and Ohio University
open to out of state suggestions too.
please help my find a college for my passion, skiing near college isnt a necessary just a plus.
life moral is do what makes you happy so that in 50 years you can look back and smile in fulfillment

Nice pics, I wish I knew schools that have though majors and minors. Where abouts are you looking (cities/states). It sounds like your on the right track with majoring in graphic design and minor in photo. Have you ever thought of maybe being a art major, that is what my sister did and she took a ton of photo classes. Good luck man, if I hear of any school I will holla at you.

yea well im thinkn in ohio, limited funds is why. maybe out of state if super cheap, ( under 25000 total)
but art schools are typically only 2 year schools and if i do decide to change my major, then it will be  very hard to change schools and have the school i change to accept my credit hours. also im not sure on the art degree cause graphic design, as much as it is a  art is more or less a advertisement design. but yea i want to get a good school and graphic design is top choice ive also checked collegebaords, yet they dont offer to many good schoools. or and 4 year school for sure

College for Creative Studies (CCS) in Detroit. Might be a little expensive though...

I would go to your local Barnes and Noble or whatever major book stores are in ohio. look for the college/career section. The Princeton review lists all of the major colleges/universities and their strongest majors. I would also look in the same section for photography/graphic design school books. They have books with rankings and info for almost every topic. Obviously don't buy the book, just write down the info and look it up online.

Also, this helped me find a grad school and helped in undergrad

You have to sign up (for free) but you put in all the information - major/minor, price, location, school environment and it gives you a list of the colleges that best fit you.
