Beginning with the fall term, New York's School of Visual Arts will offer a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in digital photography. The new one-year degree program addresses the technical needs of experienced photographers who wish to advance their skills in digital image capture, management and production.

The required curriculum for the MPS degree comprises nine three-credit courses and a six-credit summer thesis project.

The program will be chaired by Katrin Eismann, who is on the faculty of the BFA Computer Art Department and the MFA Photography, Video and Related Media Department at SVA. Eismann is a computer artist, author and educator who specializes in digital photography.
