The MFA Photography program prepares you to become a practicing artist and scholar, redefining the creative role of photography in contemporary culture. The program challenges you to move beyond current paradigms, anticipating and setting trends rather than following them. Parsons’ long-standing ties to New York City's photography and art communities provide access to world-class partners for internships, exhibitions, research, and representation.

Career Paths Graduates go on to publish, exhibit internationally, and work in related positions. They pursue careers such as commercial photography, editorial photography, fashion photography, documentary production, and fine art.
