Pursuing a master’s degree requires the right school with the best program at the appropriate time in your life. The [SVA Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Digital Photography](http://engine.nectarads.com/redirect/0/75710/52215/0/00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0/105823/0?ref=hyperallergic.com) is an intensive one-year master’s degree program that is offered as an *on-campus/summer residency* or an *online/summer residency* that seamlessly blends the most current technical and aesthetic aspects of contemporary photographic image making.

The program meets the needs of professional photographers, photographic educators, and creative professionals who need to advance their skills in digital image capture, image processing, multimedia production, business issues, conceptual and critique practice, and high-quality output to remain competitive in a variety of photographic, design, production, educational, multimedia, and related fields.

**The *online/summer residency* program is ideal for anyone who has a deep passion for exploring the confluence of photographic aesthetics and digital technology but cannot relocate to New York City for a full academic year.** The program is conducted online during the fall and spring semesters. It then culminates in an intensive on-site 9-week summer session in New York City, where students produce the thesis project deliverables. Like the on-campus classes, the online classes are limited in size and fully engage students in creating original photographic images of the highest caliber and mastering contemporary digital and business practices. Online students may choose to complete the curriculum on a full-time one-year or part-time two-year basis. SVA offers a 50%–75% tuition scholarship for qualified photographic educators in the online/summer residency program.

The MPS Digital Photography Program is now accepting applications for Fall 2013 admission. Applicants should [apply online through the SVA website](http://engine.nectarads.com/redirect/0/75706/52215/0/00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0/105819/0?ref=hyperallergic.com).
