Program & Facilities
The University of Central Florida's Bachelors of Science in Photography degree program provides a balanced photographic education by incorporating strong technical, creative, and critical skills to empower our graduates for life long success in a variety of professional photographic fields.
Working with a diverse professional faculty in an environment that encourages excellence and innovative approaches to photography, the studies offered at UCF present students with an opportunity to further explore their creative potential while positioning graduates to compete in a rapidly changing industry.
The UCF B.S. in Photography is a 2+2 degree program. Partnering with the Daytona State College A.S. in Photographic Technology program it allows those who have completed the A.S. degree from DSC to seamlessly merge into their third and fourth years at the university level. Students coming from other A.S. in Photography degree programs or those having the appropriate first and second year photography courses are considered on a case-by-case basis. 
Both photography programs are located on the UCF Eastern Region campus at Daytona State College and occupy a two story, fifty-six thousand square foot building with state of the art studio, computer, darkroom, and classroom facilities. The prestigious Southeast Museum of Photography is also located on campus.
The two schools and the museum are known as the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies. The college is situated on International Speedway Boulevard just a few miles east of the Daytona International Speedway, west of the World's Most Famous Beach and a little north of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.
