Because students enrolled in the Photography program are required to<br />

precisely mix photographic chemicals, some of which are toxic, it is advisable<br />

that a student be able to clearly understand oral instructions and reading<br />

materials that are distributed in class and lab. Consequently, it is advisable<br />

for students to possess reading comprehension at the English 28 level<br />

(Intermediate Reading and Composition) or higher.<br />
