Take your photography to the next level with training from the Michigan State University School of Journalism. Learn tips on how to compose strong photos, how to get the most out of your camera and what it takes to be a photojournalist — all while developing techniques to teach these skills in your own classroom.
This online class will help you improve your digital photography skills and will provide techniques to teach photography to staff members of high school student media outlets.
We offer options to meet your needs: Take this class for graduate-level credit to meet state or district professional development requirements, to work toward a journalism endorsement, as part of MSU’s journalism master’s degree or not-for-credit for a reduced rate.
