A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Comparing SBCC with SNHU for a photography education (alien.top)

I have an MA and access to tuition reimbursement for a few years more. Spouse and I agree to pursue only fun/creative degrees going forward. Our local schools have anemic photography programs and the local photography non-credit classes would not get paid for by my employer. The reimbursements only work for accredited and degree-granting programs.

I have narrowed the list to Asssociate degrees at SNHU and SBCC. Strangely, Reddit has very little on this topic. And YouTube has very little to add,

I don't need the degree. But both programs look appealing and I work better with some structure rather than relying on myself to routinely open up Skillshare after work.

Has anyone here taken online photography / art classes at either college? Is there another respectable and accredited school that offers its programs online that I should consider? Challenge: reimbursement is limited to $1,700 a class... so the big name Art Institute and similar others are no-go's unless I come out of pocket for each class.

What do you feel these courses offer you that you can't get through experience? I mean you could probably get more out of YouTube and a local photography group than these courses unless they are something specific.
