    This hands-on course will guide the student through the creation of a photography-based portfolio and prepares students for entering the workforce upon graduation. Students will begin by assessing their interests, strengths, goals and clarifying the steps needed to enter into the industry. Concepts in assemble techniques, display options and presentation methods will be at the heart of this course. Upon completion the student will have multiple industry-ready photographic portfolios in preparation for career exploration. Emphasis will be given to the idea that portfolio is a process not a project, and therefore requires planning and continuous review and development. Prerequisites: Should be taken during the last semester prior to graduation so all required photo courses should be completed with the exception of PHOT 2560, and 2651, which are typically taken concurrently.
