HEALTH ADVISORY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
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 />
