evan_bedford Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Santa Monica College for sure. It has one of the better photo programs in the country and is only $20 a unit. i'm in my 3rd semester there so you can email me at ebedford21@hotmail.com if you have any more specific questions about their program.

alexie_jenkins Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just mentioned Santa Monica Community College in another post and then saw this question. Santa Monica community college has an excellent reputation for its photography program. I heard about them originally from a celebrity photographer based in Los Angeles and I had the opportunity to take some classes many, many years ago. At the time I had no idea that they were actually a well-respected program. I mean it's a community college but I guess it's misleading in terms of quality. Only recently have I heard from big-named photographers that they have an excellent program. I've studied at the Art Academy in SF (again, a long, long time ago) and Santa Monica College is not as fancy but it's a solid, affordable program. You won't be paying back student loans for a decade. It's expensive enough with all the equipment you have to buy without having to pay thousands in tuition. I would definitely talk to some students there. One thing I've found at every school I've been to is that there are good instructors and there are not-so-good instructors - it makes all the difference!
