Several Miami-area universities offer photography training. Barry University offers photography degrees at the bachelor level with optional specializations in digital imaging, communication, and biomedical and forensic photography. Florida International University, the largest public university in south Florida, offers photography classes through both its school of art and art history, and its school of journalism and mass communication. The University of Miami offers art degrees with a concentration in photography.
In the state of Florida, employment in the information sector, in which most photographers are employed, is growing at an annual rate of 1.64%. However, due to the desirability of the work, competition for photography jobs is expected to be intense. Securing employment as a professional photographer in Miami, as anywhere, will require talent and persistence.
